This is funny timing because just yesterday I ran across a thread on Reddit where somebody asked a question along the lines of "What U.S. city is seen as desirable to move to but isn't that great once you get there?" The unequivocal consensus seemed to be Nashville, with a huge influx of new people during the pandemic that has led to expensive housing, traffic jams, and a diminished quality of life for long time residents.
Also on the list, as I recall, were Denver, Austin, and Portland. More anecdotal that scientific, but felt worth mentioning in light of the In N Out news.
Thanks. That is not surprising to hear. So many places chasing the exact same game plan that choked California and ending up with the exact same problems we have. Perhaps I am being too forgiving here! Figured I'd at least use the situation to highlight some local issues around me.
