Driving around Dallas/Houston/Austin is fricking hell. Everything is 40 minutes away.

Those Texas cities are in one state. So when people talk about Texas, all of those cities are included.

The economy is great.

At one point 2 years ago there were 100,000 people per month moving to DFW

They build (no shite) 900 homes within a two mile square around our in five years, of course it made my property taxes go through the roof

This is true. Lower than Texas actually. Texans pay out the arse in property taxes rather than income taxes

Group 2 is probably a more aesthetically pleasing combination, but this is the key point. Group 1 economic opportunity and earning potential >>> Group 2. These aren't really good comparables.

How can people say Atlanta is the best out of Nashville and Charlotte?

It's a very distant third

Texas is inferior in every way in the OP comparison. Please move there instead.

Really depends on the industry. If you work for Exxon, I would agree, but if you work in banking at the BOA headquarters in Charlotte, I would disagree.

I mean come on, yeah the growth in Texas has been unreal, but Atlanta, Nashville, and Charlotte are booming. Aren't even comparable?

You are acting like the comparison was Buffalo, Akron, and Flint.

They do but the overall taxes in TN - sales, income and property are slightly lower than Texas

Give Texas credit. The infrastructure, economy, and state government are all pretty much best in the U.S.

Texas is pretty bland though. I would take a vacation in the Charlotte/Nashville area all day over TX.
