Would you rather live in North Carolina or Tennessee

North Carolina and it’s not close

Probably North Carolina. Somewhere in the mountains but close enough to the coast for a weekend trip

NC mountains no doubt

North Carolina they have mountains and a ocean and both have shitty football teams

this. I could take either.

North Carolina has a better economy, more job opportunities, and is a better bang for your buck. Nashville is wayyyyy overpriced, Memphis is a ghetto shithole, and Chattanooga is nice but the job market is kinda meh. Only plus Tennessee has over NC is no state income tax. Either way, they're both good states and are way better than Louisiana.

Better towns in western NC vs eastern TN.

There is a zero state income tax for current residents. New residents have to pay an assessment fee once they establish a residence. It is 15 percent of your first year salary and 3 percent for 5 years. Then if I deem you worthy enough I will let you stay here and pay no state income tax like the rest of us.

TN has no state income tax, so that tips in their favor unless living in NC pays so much more it offsets the savings.
