Not sure if I’d agree with your traffic assessment. Of course there’s not much traffic compared with a big city but for a town this size there is more traffic than one might expect. Great video! We’re certainly happy to be here! 😃
I moved here from NC and I can give you another Con, the local government is typical "Good 'ol Boy" network, nothing gets done unless you're related to somebody in power. Terrible county road maintenance, and not enough fire stations. The waste management is pathetic, county transfer stations that look like dumps and built 70 years ago. The trade off for very low taxes is poor infrastructure and government services. Cookeville/Putnam County is more popular for a lot of reasons.
I would also add that this is not a great place to live as a minority. I can't even begin to describe how my minority status negatively affected many aspects of my life growing up there. Diversity is hugely lacking- Diversity not only in race, but in culture and world views. Also, though, once you get old enough to have mental integrity and be able to shrug it off, it's not bad enough to significantly impact your life. Certainly not bad when you compare it to gang related activities of city life. Also, I can verify your statement regarding cost of living. The home I live in now costs the equivalent to maybe 10 homes in Cumberland County. That said, my career could never flourish there either- so I had to leave.
