I agree with both you and Mick Thompson's sentiments. It makes me angry to see how much of the countryside has been turned into cookie cutter houses. This isn't the same TN that I grew up in.At one time I never would have considered that. But the place is not as affordable anymore. No state income tax but a 10 percent sales tax even on groceries and even the fine print you read hidden state tax's on. The farms I hunted are gone. The beautiful hillsides I use to love covered in houses and lights. Traffic is terrible because we still have the same roads that we had when half the people lived here. The covid migration and what it started. Has just about ruined everything here. Same story all across the state though.
It's such a shame because Tennessee will slowly become like California, with everyone moving in here. Soon, it'll be unaffordable for the locals and born Tennesseans to continue to live here.
Not to mention how many hunting and fishing opportunities are being lost daily.
