[QUOTE="Aquarius, post: 1274951, member: 12359"] I have previously highly considered moving to Nashville but now I'm starting to have second thoughts given how much non-southern hipsters have been raving about and moving to the city en masse, especially in the last 5 years, with no end in sight. Not to mention that Broadway is starting to resemble 6th Street in Austin and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, where masses of tourists travel specifically to drink, be extremely noisy, and trash the city. I recall restaurants having lines out the door due to said tourism being the norm. It is starting to get really expensive too, and most new houses are 2 identical-looking (and very ugly) tall skinnies built on land that's meant for one single family home with a sizable yard. It is clearly becoming a city that's catering towards the young liberal crowd. It still has a noticeable traditionally-minded Southern churchgoing crowd, but proportionately it's shrinking as liberal transplants continue to dilute the population. Nashville simply isn't the pleasant, low key, quiet yet economically prosperous third tier city it was last decade. The effects of a string of "pro-business" northern transplant mayors in bed with real estate developers Nashville had since the late 1990s are really starting to be felt now and will only accelerate in the near future. Another important factor is that Amazon starting in 2021 will base 5,000 tech workers in the city, not to mention Alliance Bernstein will move about 1,000-2,000 finance professionals from NYC to Nashville. On top of its existing popularity with the young liberal upper middle class crowd, I really can't see Nashville remaining recognizable in 10 years. The Southern culture will probably retreat deep into the suburbs and completely fade into the background like it has in Atlanta, Charlotte, or Raleigh/Durham. [/QUOTE]
