[QUOTE="BigJohnJTP, post: 5928977, member: 19084"] For many years I traveled the country to big blue cities and states and just counted my blessings when the plane brought me home. People used to ask me "So what's it like in Tennessee?" and I would foolishly brag about it. But I stopped doing that when about 15 years ago I was briefing a board of tech company executives in San Jose, CA (with BIG salaries) and their chief legal counsel asked me "So what's the price of housing like in Tennessee?" I foolishly said "Well, a friend of mine here in CA just bought a run-down 'fixer-upper' in San Francisco for about $900,00. But in Tennessee for that amount of money you could buy a really nice couple of acre lot with a new huge 4-bedroom house, and a cabin in the mountains somewhere, and a nice new cabin-cruiser boat to fish, water-ski, and float around in all the lakes we have." Then he said, "do you know any realtors I could get in touch with there?" I think I told him I would get back to him but realized I would be inviting someone who was probably a liberal democrat into the state. Not a good idea. I have a new next door neighbor in West Knoxville now who just moved here from Massachusetts and he's asking me about also buying some land. Get the picture? [/QUOTE]
