Well after looking at Austin, Dallas, Nashville, Phoenix...I am going to go with Phoenix, since I lived there for 10 years before moving to Portland, Oregon. I will be relocating my parents to Suncity, Arizona since they are retired and keep me closer to them. Thanks for everyones feedback, but I think moving so far with too many unknowns is too much of a risk
I'd pick Dallas first, though the summer weather is harsh. Phoenix would be my second choice. Nashville is much smaller, which could be a pro or con to you.

Nashville and Dallas are what I call "zzzz cities". Both claim to be something "special", but they're really not. They're just large cities, with semi-decent downtowns (nothing to write home about), and garbage weather. Both cities are cloudy half the year, experience flooding, are muddy in winter from too much rain, and they aren't even truly warm in winter by any stretch of the word. Both are seemingly the epicenters of country music, which is a curse if you ask me. That is unless you like city/suburb boys and gals who dress up in boots and hats on the weekends, drive lifted pickups with the mandatory Realtree or "cowboy up" stickers on them, pretend to be cowboys/gilrs, but couldn't bale hay if their lives depended on it. Both have scenery that is subpar and nothing is unique to the landscapes they sit in. Hail, tornadoes, ice, even snow, plague them both, and they shut down when it happens. You have humid, wet Winters, humid Spring, grotesquely humid summers, and mild Falls.
Yes, PHX roasts for 4 months, but the remaining 8 months are virtually glorious.

Neither Dallas or Nashville are "cloudy" or rainy cities, especially Dallas. That's just laughable. In comparison to Phoenix, yes. But it's complete fallacy that it's cloudy for half the year in those cities. Nashville is definitely a country music town, but not so much in Dallas. Heavy metal and EDM are much larger scenes in Dallas than country music. Obviously you've never spent much time there.
Tell me more about vibrant Downtown Phoenix though lol.

Dallas averages 60% sun and Nashville 56%. That's pretty darn close to half the year. So what if I was off a few percentage points? You get the point.
In comparison "super cloudy" Milwaukee averages 54% sun. How is 2% more sun in Nashville qualify it as a non-cloudy city? I used to live near there in Clarksville, and I can tell you its cloudy. A LOT.

Probably not a bad idea, but I think it's now or never if you ever want to live in Dallas or Nashville.
