Concur, I was ahead of the curve and fled San Francisco and California in 2018 for Nashville, TN and don’t anticipate ever moving back even though my immediate family is still in Cali. I don’t want to give California a cent of my tax dollars ever again.

I absolutely love Nashville and Tennessee and even bought a house at the height of Covid. The people and southern hospitality are amazing (though I am seeing a lot of California plates lately around which frankly is making me nervous). Nashville is a such a beautiful city, opportunity is unlimited, amazing night life, food, culture, and of course music. Southern is way more my style and speed.
