I agree, I retired here in east Tennessee from Michigan, I left behind my daughter and her husband. my son also. My wife and I wanted to retire where it was nicer out and not so busy nuts. I love doing things outside also. We bought a nice place here. I don't pay the taxes and cost of living that Michigan had here. It's cheaper here. Great move didn't look back. I love the weather also.

I got teary with you when you talked about leaving your family. It's so hard! I did it 20 years ago when I left Washington State for California, so thank God we don't have to go through that again, but we do have friends we love like family. The upside, is that so many of our dear friends have already left California, most of them are just a day drive of less away from us and this is exciting to think about. Maybe your family will follow you someday. You never know... Great video, Mel. Thank you!

Welcome to Tennessee! Chattanooga is a wonderful city. I was born and raised in northern East Tennessee. When I was 25, I moved to Kansas City, MO for almost a year and hated it. I have been back home since 2008 and wouldn't think of calling anywhere else home. The great thing about where you're at is proximity to all sorts of things to do. They have a lot of concerts in Atlanta (when they start having them again). You're only about 5 hours from the beach. The Great Smoky Mountains is close by. And since you like the outdoors, you definitely should check out Cades Cove near the GSM national park and The Lost Sea, America's largest underground lake and the second largest in the world.

Hi Melody!! We live in Corona... my husband retired in 2006 I’m praying I can retire either next year or 2022 (sounds a long way off🤦🏾‍♀️) we have 2 adult daughters living with us since they can’t afford to live on thier own. I want to get out of here SO BAD!!! Doing research on Texas and Tennessee and I came across your channel. My coworker retired 2 years ago and is living in Tennessee and loves it. Please pray for us because we have to take care of bills and finances and find a way to buy a house when we do leave this Godforsaken state. So as we are from NY originally moved to Sacramento in 86 moved to Orange County in 93 finally Corona in 98 when our girls were small. This was our home we loved it here now we don’t recognize it and we will be leaving family as well. We just need to settle some place quiet to start the next chapter of our lives. Would like the girls to come with us to start thier adult lives. I yammered enough!😂 will subscribe and follow you! Any info on which suburbs are cheapest would be great 🥰 Take care Jeannean

I understand where you are coming from. I am conservative and not the silent type. Why I have noticed about living here in Chatt and Tennessee in general is that the majority of conservatives are very silent and not proactive. Yes you can say don’t vote blue but what are conservatives actively doing to keep this state red? Just some food for thought. Thanks fir watching! 🧡

I want to move there so bad but I feel so hopeless. My credit isn't good, fair but not good so I can only rent. I can't guarantee my job will let me move and husband lost his job to covid. I have pets. I pray that the doors open soon, California is killing me

Don’t give up. I did so many side hustles to save up for the move. There’s a lot of manufacturing jobs out here. It might not be what your hubby likes but maybe a way for y’all to move out here. Don’t lose hope! 🧡

Tell your California friends to stay away, tell them Tennessee is horrible, hot summers, black ice winter roads, tornado's. Tell them to not even consider relocating to TN. Tell them to go to Colorado or Texas but to stay far far away from Tennessee, as far away as possible.

One of my favorite cities in Tennessee. Also, close to Knoxville, Nashville, and Atlanta for weekend trips. The traffic can be bad due to continuous construction on the interstate.

Maybe don’t advertise to other Californians . Chattanooga’s charm is that it was affordable and a small city don’t change what’s good with the city . Understand by driving people here you are only pushing out locals out of affordable living . Keep Chattanooga small please!

I don't know why anyone would want to live in California nor any Western states in general. It's a good place to visit but not live. Washington state is too cold and expensive. California is too dry and expensive. Oregon is the same.

And not some idiotic idea that socialism is the way to go, which people come to this country to get away from such politics.

High Cost of living, high taxes, high crimes, and high homeless rate Oh - regarding taxes - they are proposing to increase taxes our taxes in CA x2 (~12k per household). People run from CA because of the high cost of living Yet they still vote blue - which democratic politicians WILL INCREASE TAXES No Income Tax in TN? Not for long if it turns BLUE

Lake Elsinore and Ontario are not representative of California in general. Personally I wouldn't live or work in either if them, or any other Inland Empire community. Enjoy Tennessee, if that's where you are happy. I can't see myself ever living in a "red state ".
The honest truth: I'm glad I left Chattanooga for Northeast TN!
