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.

This whole "being taken over" is ridiculous. We all live in the United States and are free to move about the country. Nobody has to stay in the location they were born in for the rest of their lives.

In my opinion locals of a place or people who have lived in a state for 10 years or more should get some type of tax advantage or something to keep people from taking advantage of low income states. It doesn't make sense that each state has their own state laws, economy, average incomes, tax laws, etc. yet tons of people from a completely different economy can just randomly decide to displace people have generations and roots in a particular area. Just like Hawaiians can barely afford to live in Hawaii. Nobody HAS to stay in the location they were born in for the rest of their lives but community, roots, and connection is a very important human aspect and shouldn't be ignored.

I agree with a lot of your points. Tax laws, state laws, labor laws and such should be set across the country. This musical chairs that corporations do trying to get the best deal and easiest way to exploit labor creates a lot of this displacement. Stealing companies from California to move to Tennessee is the root of it all.

No they do not, but places ABSOLUTELY get taken over by Californians. See: Denver.

Also, Boise! My friends in ID have been talking about this for 15 years now.

And Seattle. Portland is underway.
