Title says it all, I am finally getting out of this commie hellhole and can't wait to get there. I am bored with a little bit of free time on my hands so fire away!

To get these out of the way...

True chili does not have beans, but I prefer to eat what many call, "chili", with beans.

Did you receive a generous relocation package from a technology company or manufacturer of electric vehicles?

Are you looking forward to In-N-Out in 2026?

What are your thoughts about Franklin, TN?

I've lived in CA, off and on, for about 23 years. But was born in WA and spent almost 12 years in UT and MT after high school.

ETA, bringing my wife and mother-in-law, for now... Hopefully the kids follow us out at some point.

No such place as "central" Tennessee.  Add "middle" to your vocabulary to replace "central" when referring to the sections of TN.

No

I can live without In-N-Out but am pretty excited about Buc-ees

I've not been to Franklin but I am not a city person so we made sure to move far enough from Nashville that we can enjoy it from afar.

Moving from far northern CA. The real Northern CA, not the Bay Area.

I've done my homework! I can live anywhere in the central US for my job but wanted to move somewhere where the following 3 things occur:

No state income tax
Can own a machine gun
Permitless carry

So, Tennessee it is. Plus it's beautiful and most of the people seem pretty nice so far.

Kids are on their own and doing their thing, I think at least the older one will want to move at some point, he's more conservative than our younger son. Wife's mom and dad are divorced, the mom is single and really close to my wife and hates CA as much as I do. So she decided she wants to move as well. And i like her so I am good with it.

Califonia has plenty of good people. It’s the coastal areas that have destroyed that state.

The 530 area code is quite conservative and beautiful... I've really loved living there for the most part but it is still CA and, try as you might, you really can't get away from the bullshit. And I don't just mean the taxes...

North of Nashville? City or country? Stay out of Davidson and Sumner Co unless you want to keep paying stupidly high taxes. Nashville roads are terrible. All that tax, and none towards what needs to be fixed. Blue county at its finest.
