the California "exodus" to Nashville is majorly overstated. It's been proven before that most of the Nashville transplants come from rust belt states (IL, IN, MI, OH, PA, MO, etc), basically anywhere north of Nashville that has worse winters. The number of Californians moving to Nashville in comparison is just a drop in the bucket.

California is #1 according to this article. It used to be that the northern US states were ahead in migration but that's not been the case for a few years now. I would also guess that Missouri and Indiana are pretty low on the migration list. I would guess Georgia and Kentucky to be higher.

KTLA may forget it has been a decade for Nissan to move it's headquarters from California to TN. May havve forgotten how many suppliers also made the move. May be another 10,000 employees working at 2 plants.

From 2016 Nissan has a 20 year naming deal for Nissan Stadium. no word yet if they will assist in the New Nissan Stadium. A Nissan Titan truck is on site.

So true. I can’t wait to get back to California.

I'm not in California, but the west coast lifestyle also lured me. I lived in Tennessee from birth until age 23 and then was very happy to get out. I think a lot of folks are just looking for something that aligns with their own sense of lifestyle and worth. It's great that we live in a large enough country to offer both Southeast and West Coast experiences.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the data in that article seems very unreliable. If you do a sample size of 1000 Nashville transplants, the majority of them are going to be from states east of the Mississippi River, and mostly in the Midwest. It's something I've witnessed on the ground as a true Nashville native. This idea that Californians are moving there in droves is only bait for flashy news headlines, nothing more. It's a fantasy. Tennessee is far down the list of states California natives want to move to.

Same here. There's nothing like SoCal in Tennessee. People ask me all the time, "why would you leave NASHVILLE of all places?! Are you crazy? I thought Nashville was the place to be!"--without taking into account that I spent the first 22 years of my 30 year life in Nashville. Not everyone is destined to be in their hometown forever and ever.

I totally get that.

But, California in many areas, is simply heaven on earth, geographically and climate-wise.

No state in the US can match California's magnificence.

San Diego is weather perfection, and Los Angeles ain't too far behind. I would move to LA myself (and almost did--twice), but I'm settled now in New York. LOVE the weather, sunshine, beaches and geographical variety that California offers.

It's too damn bad with the tax issue and the water/fire issue, that is driving folks to leave.

Nashville is an attractive alternative (like Austin), due to its explosive growth, no state income tax, entertainment industry hub, and milder winter weather.

There seems to be a lot of movement between Nashville and Knoxville, Memphis, Clarksville and Atlanta.
