Or, perhaps it's just that moderates that prefer smaller government with less taxes live in Nashville. I moved from SF to Nashville and was not convinced the transportation plan would be utilized and with the increase in already high sales tax (which by the way is a tax on the poorest) firmly voted against it.




The sales tax in Tennessee is high because there isn't an income tax. You need to fix that, as that's the real root problem there.


I don't think we are going to agree on this, but no state income tax is one of the reasons I decided on Tennessee. I suspect we have vastly different political views in terms of taxation.
