I live in east TN

Maybe cops shouldn't protect all the cops who are horrible people.

Washington county Tennessee is hiring deputies 😊

I currently live in California, my aunt and cousins moved to Tennessee because of how this state is ran. It’s such a mess here and difficult to feel safe anywhere. They’re encouraging me and my fiancé once married to make the move to Tennessee. I can’t wait to visit and meet neighbors who are friendly, and supportive of all individuals who come to be a part of the culture of TN.

If you are a conservative family, you'll fit in just fine here. Welcome home!

Come to Tennessee! We're playing your song! God Bless you and may God Protect your sweet husband, keeping him and his comrades safe from the snares of evil in California. Please get here as soon as you can, okay?? Again, GOD BLESS!

I have seen al four seasons in 1 day. Starting out cold and snowy and then by late afternoon- no snow, sunny weather and shorts and flip flops and I have seen it the other way around- starting out warm and by evening snow- usually the snow doesn't stick when it happens this way.

I am not ungrateful for any single soul moving from any state wanting to merely add to the already abundant activities we have here in my state. All I stated was I didn't want anyone to come in and completely change our ways. That doesn't include any backwards notions that actually need changing btw. That also doesn't in any single way make me ungrateful for people now living or moving into my area to enjoy what we have to offer. I've met many fine Californians that now call themselves Okies. I do believe you are projecting how maybe someone has made you or others feel idk. But I personally only stated what I stated. Adding to it based on your perspective doesn't make it my own.

Who in their right mind would complain about the culture? I retired from the Military so I met plenty of folks from the South. Where I grew up in Oregon is about as close to Appalachia as you'll find on the West Coast. I always got along will with guys from the South and Upstate New Yorkers of all people.

@@gretch4206 Being from California and looking to move out of state, the perception that Californians will contaminate the areas we choose to move to has been an unexpected bummer in choosing to leave. We are good people who look out for our neighbors, volunteer at our church and work hard at our jobs so the assumptions about us based on a generalization are hard to overcome. I promise that if we moved into your neighborhood as your new next door neighbors, you would have new friends in us and my husband knows how to smoke a mean brisket. ❤

Exactly why I moved here from Maine! Get in where you fit in. I found a place with my values, and the people here have exceeded my expectations. I love connecting with me neighbors about what we think is the right direction for the community and country.

We love our state and we have noticed a lot of people from New England and California move in. These states have strict gun laws and stay blue every election. We are the opposite of that and we are proud of it. Voting blue destroyed your state and strict gun laws made citizens unable to defend themselves.

@Madeline Montgomery interesting

😲😲😲 I have friends that relocated from New York and this is not their experience at all. They have nothing but great things to say about Tennessee. But they're Christians....

Tennessee has a large Christian population. The more professing "Christians" there are in an area, the more likely it is that there are genuine born again Christians there. What that produces is God's blessings and people filled with the Holy Spirit. Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

amen

Lol I'm from N. Y. and I don't have to think I'm better than you or my rural life is more loving than yours.

@Kimberly Notch God bless you ! New York and Cali refugees are flooding the South and a big problem is that many are bringing with them the politics and kind of thinking that created the problems that they are fleeing. ✌️

Please specify what southern traditions and way of life you are talking about. What is a "true southerner" in the USA today? Everywhere in the USA today, there are a lot of people formerly from somewhere else. Your "way of life" is not under your control, you can only control yourself.

@@chrysr7773 these points could be argued until we're blue in the face, however once upon a time many Southerners did indeed have their own culture, and some still do, and no it wasn't just racism. Of course there's our accent, and there's variations of our accents depending on the region, we had our own taboos and "southern manners" thing going on, and what northerners call "soul food" is/was simply food to us, its just what we eat.. And back in the day religion was taken way more seriously in parts of the south (hence, "the bible belt ") and there was a church on pretty much every other block, but of course this varied I suppose. I remember when I was little it was still shameful (and mostly unheard of) to have multiple "baby daddy", to be drunks, etc., and most everyone in an area knew everyone else. And in the more rural areas people would (and some still occasionally do) even wave at you as pass each other on the road in cars lol (the "southern hospitality" thing, again), etc. Time just flowed differently for us. I remember this very well when I was a small child (I'm in my early forties now). And contrary to popular belief there's tons of black people in the South and for the most part we've gotten along just fine for a long time now, at least where I've lived. Also, black Southerners have their own variations of culture as well. When I was a youth and visited up north the differences in our cultures were obvious. But of course white Southerners are the only people for whom it's PC to make fun of, so we catch all the hell. But the South was much more than racism. By the way, to the haters, I don't give two fks what you think about us. ✌️to everyone. P.S of course it could be different for different Southerners from different places and different situations, I'm just speaking from my personal point of view. And when we ask you to respect the way that we live, just asking you to leave behind the politics and thinking that destroyed the places from which your fleeing.

We didn't change anything. Our government changed everything to suit them

Long as they don’t start Turing it blue

So you want to welcome in people who will eventually destroy your beautiful state? That doesn't sound very wise to me. Good luck to you when it turns into California 2.0.

I've been a little hesitant on doing a video like that because it can be so opinionated due to so many of us have different wants and desires, but I think along those lines, maybe doing something like best areas if you want land, or close to city, or something like that, I think I can put something like that together

Enlightened One , I'm from Fallbrook and have been in Knoxville for 24 yrs. I have to agree with Hoag it's really depends on what you want. I've been all over the state for either work , club soccer with the kids or just site seeing and I personally think East TN is the best place to live.

Check out Knoxville,Oak Ridge,Clinton and Maryville.

Tennessee changes from one end of state to the other. West TN. Is flat and open. Memphis probably not the best area. Nashville is nice in the outskirts, but downtown is turning liberal. Chattanooga has small mountains, good shopping. Knoxville it good place if you don’t mind crowds. Northeast Tn, has mountains, trout fishing, hunting, it is excellent for outdoors people. Not as populated. A 1800 sf home in rural TN is less than $200k. No state income tax.

I agree it depends on your life style. East tennessee had many mountains and lakes for plenty of outdoor activities. Oak Ridge has an excellent school system but most of Tennessee has decent school systems which surprises most people.

So happy to be here 🙌🏻

That’s exactly where me and my family want to move from Oregon 😁

Quit assuming all the people leaving California are democrats! You have false news because many of us leaving are conservatives!AND we are all sick the crap and fraud voting.

@@humblehalfacre8464 glad to see all conservatives are leaving Dem destruction!

Sadly, the bias against new Californian refugees stems from the first Californians here who buy up the small town papers to turn them Left. :( Left a bad taste in most TN's mouths. And certain Californians are targeting some areas to increase the Left philosphy. :( But if you have the enthusiasm to embrace the way of life and conservatism in TN - you will be warmly received.

Why do people always have to bring politics into a conversation. Last I knew that this was the United States of America, not the Divided States of America. Leave the politics out of it.

@@rayguimond4911 now Ray wants everyone to leave politics out of everything now Biden is in office due to stolen election. Unite my ass!

💕💕💕💕💕

yea how is that working out? Pastors throwing people out for not wearing masks, HOW CHRISTIAN! NOT

Hopefully they are. I'm planning on moving out of Commie California in the next year. I am leaving because of BS politics and high cost of living. I think most people are fleeing CA due to politics. And yes, people are leaving for more conservative ideals.

Born and raised here in middle Tennessee myself and I’ve Traveled all over the United States and I can’t see myself living anywhere else but here.

Screw you. Get out of my state

Living in Alabama for years, but Seriously wanting to move to east Tennessee. I love mountain towns. As someone who grew up living in So Cal back in 1981-94 when Cali was cool to live there. Everyone wanted to live in Cali. When people back east would ask what So Cal was like, there was a lot of pressure to impress others. Brands, style, what you own. I saw the early signs of every problem they have now, overpopulation, pollution, drought, higher crime, Democrats from everywhere moving in. Reagan was prez. Too young to understand what that meant to USA Conservatism was to be proud of. Hope TN doesn't suffer the same fate.
