Just remember please do not California my Tennessee
This!
lol as we are a freedom loving state
As a Tennesseean and I ask you leave California in California 1000% we have so much culture loss as it is please try to assimilate into the culture in which you are moving
I love the old school culture. I don’t want Tennessee to become a metropolis.
@@jpjp3873 Too late, it's happening. Either have to move even more remote to maintain that small town old culture. I'm still working, so I hate to have to add another 30 minutes to my already 30 min drive in. Especially since traffic is now getting ridiculous. Think it may be time to pack it up and leave the state for good.
Welcome, please don’t make Tennessee, California.
amen East Tennessee agrees
Welcome Y'all l hope & pray that y'all make great memories in TN Enjoy your new place ❤
It’s crazy how a state you loved could turn to trash right before your eyes. We tried voting our way out, tried recalling the governor and finally bailed when they tried to force the vax at my wife’s workplace. I made it to retirement and came to the outskirts of Clarksville. We’re here to reinforce the red state. I too fear certain people moving here and ruining my new home state. It’s growing pains here for sure with all the people moving in. I get why native residents hate us. Enjoy your new home and newly acquired freedom!
Welcome to Tennessee! I lived in San Jose for 4 years and loved it back in my younger years. Family is here in Tennessee! Been here a lot of years in Murfreesboro. Hope you find great friends and joyful times. I feel life is just a little bit easier here. God Bless you!
From a lifetime resident of Cheatham County, Tennessee, welcome to our state!
@@roberthand6436 thank you😃
Welcome to Tennessee message from Missouri 😊
Welcome to Tennessee. My husband and I retired from a jail in Virginia and moved here a couple of years ago to help my dad and stepmother. Absolutely love Tennessee. We are just west of Knoxville.
we are in Sevier county, Pigeon Forge area hubby has worked in Knoxville often
Just don’t come here a mess it up like California, that’s all I ask. Your state is a disaster!
Why do you think we left.
@@tennesseetime3973 not sure? But I do know that most Not all screw up their state and come here and continue to vote same bull crap! Just don’t want that here! Just saying!
@@tennesseetime3973 what did you vote for, just asking?!?
We left California because of the politics and cost of living. Most left coasters I meet lean right.
Awe! Thank you guys for sharing your journey. I hope you all are loving Tennessee!! ♥️
As a native dont mess it up here also
To those reading this who haven't moved...We are FULL! It's humid, and crowded...please pick another state...AND don't vote for Liberal policies if you're coming to a ruby red state, please!!
Oh my gosh, looking at the comments, now i see why my sleepy little county in middle TN is turning into a dang suburb now. Totally lost it's small town charm. Building these subdivisions now with these big almost mansion type houses. House and land prices are now ridiculous. About time to move away.
Welcome to TN❤ Enjoy the journey and just remember to breathe the fresh air ignore the ignorance of it's over crowded or don't change our state. You are Welcome here, change is inevitable for us all. I've lived in TN my entire life and still wonder why anyone would leave the sunshine and ocean for wildlife, and now I get it. I finally get it😅
Welcome to Tennessee. I get the emotions of moving from the home your kids grew up in. I retired from my job of 32 years in Nashville 4 years ago and moved to Monterey, just up the road from you after being in our previous home 20 years. Our move was much shorter, from Mt Juliet. My sons went to the same schools I went to and in some cases had the same teachers.
I would love to see a video on expectations vs reality. Cost, taxes, weather, people, etc.
Welcome to paradise. You could not have chosen a better state. Embrace the people here and we will embrace you.
I am sorry that you had to leave California, but you are in a great r place. Tennessee is a wonderful state. The people are friendly and welcoming.
As a Floridian I see families just like yours fleeing California so they can have a better quality of life and MORE MONEY in your bank accounts from not being financially raped by overtaxation. Now please, don’t ruin Tennessee by Voting Democrat. That’s what’s happening in Florida…Californians coming here….keeping more of their hard earned cash with our Policies and then Voting Democrat. Please respect Tennessee and their welcoming way of life. Embrace THEM and they will embrace YOU. 💜💜💜
Thanks from Tennessee
Florida has actually gotten more red because the people fleeing California ARE the Republicans.
@@tennesseetime3973 Ummm…I’m a Floridian…and I can ASSURE you that there are PLENTY of Leftist transplants here. Not everyone…but a day doesn’t go by where some idiot Democrat is happily sporting a Biden Harris shirt while taking advantage of our Tax Free Holidays for school clothes…hurricane supplies…or the entire month of July tax free for recreational related goods.
THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS COMMENT!!! Your friend from Nashville!
@@georgetterobinson01 You betcha! I’m happy I’ve already got a Tennessean as a friend!! 😉 I’m looking at maybe Morristown…but focusing on NE TN. Looking forward to REAL southern hospitality! We have “redneck” hospitality where I live 😂😂😂
You guys had a very nice view in Cali, but I'm sure you will build it just as beautifully out here.
We left California in July, 2019 from Murrieta after almost 50 years, raised in Huntington Beach. We just couldn't do it anymore!!! I was working in OC and taking the train, 2.5 hours one way to work. One of our dogs died in my husbands arms at a New Mexico rest stop. We initially moved to KoKo Reef Lake in Mississippi, we were going to move to Memphis... Yikes, the crime was off the charts!!!! So we got the lay of the land and ended up in Somerville, Tennessee. Bought a brand new house on just shy of an acre. I love it here. Initially, felt like we moved back in time, but we have adjusted.
Only one word can describe your family, SMART!!!!!
Hello and welcome! Nashvillian here and I’m hoping to leave this county and move into the country myself! I know and love DeKalb county. My father’s family all from Short Mountain community. I look forward to enjoying yr channel. Your lovely family will thrive and grow…no matter where they’re planted! May God bless you, each one❤
i moved from Ca to middle Tn too.. best decision ever....
My family went through the same process back in 2014. We moved to GA from CA. Born and raised in CA. Built a network and career there. Started over. The best decision we ever made was escaping that state. I always tell people that I "Escaped CA". When you leave there, you have an epiphany quickly that the move was the right decision. You realize you lived in a controlled state, and now in a FREE state. It is life changing.
What's life changing is the influx of cali lo cust
Welcome to our beautiful state. We made a similar move back in 1990, moving from Palmdale in the Antelope Valley to Lewisburg, TN where we still live. My wife is a native of CA and I lived there from 12 years old until the move. We had no regrets leaving as it seemed then that so many unpleasant things were happening there. Our move was because of a job transfer for me working at the last GM plant in CA to the new Saturn Plant in Spring Hill, TN., where I worked at for 16 years before I retired in 2006 after a total of 36 years with GM/Saturn. Lewisburg is about an hour south of Nashville and is in our opinion a small city. We have two married daughters that live close to your area, in McMinnville. We did a similar move renting the largest truck we could find and taking everything that we could. I had a car trailer on the back of the rental truck and on it was my pickup with a shell and loaded to the brim. Our emotional event was eating breakfast at a McDonalds in Flagstaff, Arizona and watching the news reporting on the first car driven off the assembly line at the Saturn Plant in TN where my job was waiting for my arrival. We have been in TN since then, some 34 years ago and feel that it was God's Blessings to us moving here and have no regrets. May you all be blessed as you adjust to our slower and friendlier way of life.
Yea don’t leave us hanging. lol. Welcome to Tennessee
We left Redondo Beach CA this past January. We did a similar journey. 3 cats, 2 rabbits and a 105lb Labrador. Quite the adventure. After one night in a motel. We did Airbnb the rest of the way. Much easier with the animals. I’m not from CA but got stuck there for too long. Glad to be out and in a red state. We miss friends, but that’s it.
Welcome 😊. Noticing your jack Daniel's shirt. I live about ten minutes from the distillery. Moved here from Indiana in 1988 with my family. I love tennessee and hope you will too. It took a little adjusting but never regretted the move. Many wonderful places to see here and enjoy. ❤😊
I moved from Huntington Beach to TN 6.5 years ago. I love living here!!! I do NOT miss CA at all!!! I hope you love it as much as we do ♥️♥️
we moved to East Tennessee in 2019, we love it
We’re looking to leave NJ for TN, but don’t worry, we’re not Democrats !
Wow!!!
Just be prepared for culture shock. Many coming from different states get " bored" after a bit and then fall back into their old ways or ideals trying to make our state more like the one they left. Good luck
My husband and I moved from NJ to TN nearly 12 years ago. My husband got a job transfer to Western TN. All of our family and friends are in NJ, but we have made new friends here. The cost of living is so much cheaper. Good luck, I hope you can get out of NJ!
you will enjoy our freedom loving Tennessee
@@levans3447I moved to Tennessee a couple of years ago from California. I wish it was like it was 20 years ago here. I like it nice and boring!
Hi - born and raised in CA and moved from the Central Valley to Murfreesboro in March 2020 (literally left the day that Newsom said he was locking the state down and made the drive solo in 3 days, sleeping in my car at truck stops - my possessions were already in a moving truck and would arrive a few days after I did). Mind you, this was all planned back in December 2019, so just happened to fall at that time. My kids followed with their families about a year later, with my son, DIL and their kids living in Murfreesboro, and my daughter, SIL and their kids in Spring Hill. We LOVE living in TN and are so grateful to be out of CA. There are A LOT of Californians moving to Middle TN.
we moved to East Tennessee from Florida in 2019 and never regretted it, especially when other states were locked down
My husband and I are seeking asylum in NE TN around the Tri Cities area. Native Californians leaving because our conservative values are no longer appreciated. Unfortunately, we do not have any family or friends in TN but we are looking forward meeting lots of great people. SEE YOU SOON TN😊
Welcome to Tennessee, I have always lived here. You will be appreciated here and will make new friends 🧡
Welcome to the Volunteer State! We live in McMinn County Tennessee.
Hint:
Ham radio operators throughout Tennessee aids in conservative community networking.
This is kd4stt 73
@@lisabruner7018 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Kd4stt. OMG, this is so cool. My husband and I are studying for our HAM licenses. It's nice to meet you.😊
we moved to East Tennessee in 2019, best move for us as conservatives
We are moving to Cookeville next year from Michigan. We are bringing a small dog and 2 cats. Leaving are home of 21yrs, our grown children and grandchildren is going to be quite emotional but we are super excited for our next chapter of life.
Hello, we just watched your video. We also moved out here two years ago from Jurupa Valley not far from Corona and we love it too! Left a lot of friends and some family but we’re hoping they join us eventually! We’re over in Bon Aqua, big change, certainly wish we would have moved sooner! Blessings 🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wish we would have moved to Tennessee sooner too, but happy we did at least make the move in 2019
We fled CA, first to Nevada & now to Arizona. So, overall we haven’t resided in CA since 2009. Geographically & weather wise CA is tough to beat! However, the CA of my youth doesn’t exist anymore! To me this country of ours has so many beautiful areas, such as N. Arizona, that I don’t have a day where I miss CA! Looking forward to following your channel!!
Azure, I am so happy that your daughters are in TN with you. My daughter lives on the other side of the world, so I know how hard it is to be separated from your kids, even adult kids. Now you just have to convince your son and daughter-in-law that TN would benefit from his skills when he completes his residency! I don't think I would choose to raise my children in CA at this point. I know this move will be a blessing for your family.
you guys came across my youtube. I clicked on this because as a Calif naitive it is my dream to one day move to a rural area of TN or NC I actually found a town in NC that is near the border of TN. It's just a dream and I'm in my mid 50's, however I have PTSD from the wilfires. So living somewhere green sounds heavenly.
🙏🏼 praying you find a safe place, we are near Gatlinburg and wildfires are a concern in the mountains
The RACE in ol Tennessee is a lot slower and enjoy the ride here it's more laid back a lot more less stress also to me best state in our country as a ex trucker I have spent a lot of time in other states but when you travel and come back home and you see our beautiful smokey mountains it's just different place and people they,res a reason it's called volunteer state people are people and would and will give their shirts off their backs get here settle in and enjoy it you,ll love it
Welcome to Tennessee!!! One thing I can say being a native of Michigan. You'll bump into a lot of people from California because a lot of people made the same transition.
I live in Putnam welcome. Grew up up on center hill lake
Headed to Fall Funfestival!
I can totally relate to your story 🙏former NY and we stayed in Smithville when we were first looking in TN and we absolutely fell in love with TN.. Feels like home ❤ it is home 🧡🧡🧡
welcome to middle TN area--- were a couple hours west of you -- we came 20 years ago and have never regretted it- Hugs to you all our kids are adults now and said it was the best this we ever did
we moved to East Tennessee in 2019, best move ever
You channel popped up. Checked it out. There are some other youtubers in the Tenn. and Ark. area. They are all like a tight nit family. Tim @ridgelife is in the Tennessee He is in the process of building a new home fully powered by solar. Great guy to watch. Can't wait to watch all of you get moved in.
I’m so glad I ran across your channel randomly, we have such a similar story to yours. We’ve been in Smith county TN since 2022 from northern CA.
...enjoy watching you 'assimilate' into the new changes you're going through. we will be celebrating our #60 this Oct. I left MI in 1964 to try and talk the girl I fell in love with at college in MI into marrying me...her home was in Mississippi, half way down the state right next to the Mississippi river...obviously, I was successful! get this: I STILL find, and experience, cultural differences! YES! we have lived in TN about 55 of those 60 yrs(100 miles west of you)...and LOVE it!
I work retail, not Wally World. I've met so many Californians moving to Tennessee. (FYI, move below the ridge)
It's cheaper than Texas/Florida.
I lived In Florida, Texas etc. for years. Tennesse is best weather (again, below ridge)
My BF fled Orlando then his parents followed from Orlando. Made $$$ selling there then buying here. Have TN riverfront property plus 100k in bank.
Look beyond home prices, which are phenomenal moving from a Blue areas. Look at utilities, registration of your car and property Tax. Yes we have sales tax on food but it will barely register if you are escaping a blue city/state.
Please respect our RED STATE! We will respect you if you do us! Welcome to our beautiful state❤
❤🇺🇸 amen East Tennessee here freedom loving
Moved from Indiana to Middle Tn. Love it
welcome
Hi, don't cry. Your son can work at Vanderbilt Hosp. in Nashville. I'm in KY one mile from Nashville and it is the best hospital to me. They saved my daughters life.
Welcome to tn, I feel pretty sorry for your dogs not too sure they are suited for this humid climate. Best luck!
@@kathleenczachura3421 They actually love it. We came from an area that was 100 degrees and over. They love hanging out on the balcony and watching all the animals. Not to mention they are spoiled and inside a lot😊
Welcome to Tennessee. Now, don't ever forget why/what you fled from and be sure to vet your political candidates much better in the future while you're here... Please.
Also, stay away from Memphis/Shelby Co; unless you're visiting Graceland, just keep on driving right through without stopping for gas.
Learn about why we're the Volunteer State, and you'll fit in just like an orange shirt at Neyland Stadium....
Wild, as I am writing this, you were talking about pushing all the way to where I live in Murfreesboro! Maybe we'll run into each other sometime. God bless
😂you are foolish person
I read comments and I am happy to say welcome to Tennessee, you obviously love our freedom loving state, we moved to Tennessee in 2019 from Florida, I had breathing issues with the humidity, thank God we moved before 2020, only regret was not moving 16 years earlier after we got through Bible college years
Thank you for sharing - this made me emotional as well. What a blessing to get out of California ~wish I could leave here as well. I keep your lovely daughter in my prayers daily ~ I hope that your new adventure is filled with health,happiness and many blessings .
Welcome to our beautiful state! We are in Rutherford county! Just south of Nashville!
hey East Tennessee here Sevier county Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge area
I’ve been wondering about y’all. As a TN native who lived around the country for several years and moved back to Nashville in 9/2022, I’m so glad to be back home. I hope y’all get settled in and love this state as much as I do!
My girlfriend is in LA and I’m trying to get her out of CA and here in TN.
Welcome to TN!
Welcome to rising housing prices, rising property taxes, congested traffic, overcrowded schools, less quality of life. That's what is happening to this area no thanks to the Cali in vaders
I feel so welcomed. That must be the southern hospitality I was hearing about. Bless your heart. ❤️
Hope your not gonna vote Democrat in Tennessee, we are a red state 🙏🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
100% don’t do to Tennessee like Californians did to Austin, Texas. We love us just the way we are
I always pray over people who here move to Tennessee ❤🇺🇸
Questions?? How far is closest Costco??
35 miles
Are your other children going to be joining you at any time? I love Tennessee so much. I hope it is everything you hoped it would be.
Our daughters are with us now. Only our son is still in California.
@@tennesseetime3973go back the locals despise the Cali in vaders
Welcome to TN guys, hope you love it as much as we do. I'm from Cheatham Co. in a town called Ashland City. It is about 20-25 mins NW of Davidson Co. (Nashville). My husband is from Cairo, Egypt and he loves Tn! :) Also, Smithville, TN has a huge Jamboree every year on the first weekend of July around the 4th. They have tons of crafts and booths set up and bluegrass music and dance competitions on stage. Great place and great people! :)
Count your blessings and rejoice in your ability to make positive changes even tho it’s emotional. I subscribed and will be watching. Best wishes for a fabulous future. ❤️😁🌹
thanks for your videos! are you guys working or retired? We are trying to leave California and go closer to family which would be Tennessee to split the difference of each side. Will you guys be starting new businesses or living on savings? After living in California for so long, you can see I have no concept of a more affordable life style. Thanks again!
Most of us are all still working. Dream was to retire but we all decided to build custom homes which cost MUCH more than we thought. 😆 but we all love it here.
Hope you enjoy TN. Other than military years, I have lived my entire life in NC and moved to coastal NC 10 years ago, don't know that I would want to move to a different state. It's such a shame with CA, such a nice state that the politicians are destroying! I feel bad for the CA residents that don't vote for the destruction, yet they want to move but financially can't leave.
I can’t wait to move back to Oregon, I live in Murfreesboro , TN right now. Born and raised S. Ca.
Why do you want to move back to Oregon?
I’m in Willamette Valley, Oregon and love it - ocean, mountains, desert- 4 seasons. Great place to live.
Loved the recap!!!!!!❤
Last year, I moved from California to Tennesse. In the tri-cities area now. Took me a full year to really like the area. Not saying that i love it though. Not my forever home, but i will stay in the south. Good luck on your journey.
Californian here in Tennessee as well. It’s beautiful here that’s for sure. I don’t miss California bcuz I came here from NY. I left California 14yrs ago and just came to Tennessee this year. Would love to know if you will be opening an office here in Middle Tennessee?
Probably just go work for somebody. I had my own practice for over 20 years.
A buddy of mine had folks in Oxnard first trip we made i was 17 we made several trips to oxnard through the years he married a gal out there she ended up moving back here. Tennessee has always been my home except for six years in service an buildings ive built all across this country. This has always been home it's much different here than other places. People always say hello to strangers an wave at people just to be friendly some find it strange but it's actually comforting. Food is second to none i mean southern cooking is top notch. Weather kind of finicky if don't like it today just hang on tomorrow is a new day. We are just in middle of being north an south at same time that just a few miles can determine whether you need a jacket or not. Hope you like my state hope you adapt an blend in with the culture it's rooted deep an i find most here are ok with change but not so much if that makes any sense. Welcome
Love watching your journey. I am still living in Northern CA, but our home we are building in Crossville is almost done. We have lived all our lives in CA, so I know when my husband and I finally make the move, it is going to be very emotional. We will be giving our CA home to our son so that will ease the transition a little bit.
More cali lo cust swarming tn and ruining everything
Moved from Utah to TN 3 years ago. The move was terrible for us.
Lots of breakdowns and ruined/ lost furniture from the moving company.
We really miss Utah and the beautiful mtns. Tennessee hasn’t improved the infrastructure for millennial, so much trash everywhere, the roads are insane huge holes everywhere.
I feel like I’m in a 3 rd world country living here. I wish we never had left Utah.
No southern hospitality either.
If anything they are much ruder.
Everyone drinks and mows their lawns. Nothing to do here. Trying your best to make the best out of our life here now either no family around us. 😢
Tennessee isn’t beautiful to me, after living in Utah all my life. Utah is beautiful.
I am sorry you've had a bad experience. I do hope you will be able to find your way back home. No one should live where they are miserable. I have family in Utah , it is a pretty state from the small part I saw.
Have you not done your homework research before you left?
Go back to Utah. Sounds like you were happier there.
@@mjf3970100%. I love Tennessee
Well, you can leave.
The music is super annoyingly, distracting and intrusive.
Welcome to Middle Tennessee! I am two counties south of y'all in Coffee County. It is beautiful up there.
