    Plenty of people make good choices and still can't afford a house for $600000. We can appreciate and applaud your success but its not fair to cast judgement on others. My comment was simply about the overall cost of a house in a suburb in Nashville relative to average incomes there.

    That video is spot on they cannot build houses fast enough and my business is absolutely booming I have no shortage of clients because of all the influx of migration and a few new business clients are new transplants from California. I don’t talk politics in business that’s one thing I know for sure but I had one client that told me he feels like he moved to the United States from another country when I asked how he liked it here compared to where he came from..

    One thing they did touch on was the traffic and it has exploded in the last 5 to 6 years I don’t even do business in the metro area when initially I did (primarily to avoid traffic) I stay in the suburbs now..Brentwood, some parts of Franklin, Nolensville, Smyrna and Murfreesboro.

    PS they are also finally building Whataburger restaurants here lol, all I need is taco cabana and I have a taste of home

    Nashville is a really nice city. But my god how it’s grown over the last decade.

    WOW!

    I rented a 2 bedroom 2 bath over 800 square feet in Houston in 2008 right of Westheimer about 10 minutes from the Galleria for 750.

    I just don't understand why rents have gotten so high, it's not like it cost that much more to run an apartment complex.

    Houston welcomes New York refugees
    Especially these good New Yorkers who can rap

    Obviously rent remains high in Manhattan because of DEMAND

    I do not live in NYC. But I do live in NY.
    Not all of NY state is crazy on rent or home purchase.
    My 2000 square foot house with a half acre on the outskirts of Albany was 400k.
    I'm sure that's less expensive than Austin at this point.

    Now state taxes. That's a different animal all together
