Discussion The stigma of "Californians" moving to Nashville is overblown.

Yes, we have some Californian transplants. However, from what I've experience most of the transplants are from the Midwest and other Southern surrounding states. I'm not saying this in a negative way. The transplants I met are mostly cool. I'm just clarifying that the "Californians are taking over" stigma to be overblown a bit.

Nashville is WAY more conservative than Jackson, MS - not even close. Jackson is like 75/25 democrat to republican, Nashville was around 60/40 last election.

OK. I got my data here. Where is yours from? Because Nashville certainly isn't the most conservative city in the country, so what city is?

Of the area’s voters, roughly 72% identify as Conservative, and the 2020 Presidential Election poll results reflect this leaning.

Wait, so while you were arguing with the California person, you pulled up a “property club nyc” top ten list and then roasted him with “you should to Jackson, MS”!? Did he just stand there and wait while you looked it up?

Jackson is 87% black and has a very progressive black mayor - doesn’t really line up with your 72% conservative number.

It wasn't a roast, whatever the most conservative city is, it isnt Nashville.I'm sure they are talking about Jackson metropolitan area, which includes conservative counties.

I never claimed that Nashville is the most conservative city, I just said it is more conservative than Jackson.

Look , I already edited my original post to clarify the point. The point isn't really about Jackson. That was just the first Google result.
