      It' s not just NBC. For at least the last six months, the local stations have been doing interviews with people complaining about how Nashville is being ruined by all the people who moved here from California in the last couple years, then they explain that they consider themselves qualified to point out these new people from California as the problem, because they moved here a decade ago from California and know how Californians are. When we complained about them a decade ago, we were told that we were backwards and intolerant of new ideas.
      Six or seven years ago, Nashville's mayor was originally from California. She did her part in ruining the city, then resigned as part of a plea bargain to avoid jail time after being caught stealing from the city. Now, she wants to run for Congress to represent the area.

Sometime around the mid to late-2000s, a councilman from a traditionally black neighborhood was doing interviews with local TV reporters about the number of new people who were buying homes in his district and renovating them. He was really struggling with how to diplomatically state the problem, because he was essentially complaining that white people were ruining his black neighborhood by moving in and driving up property values to the point that life-long residents could no longer afford to live there (higher property taxes and higher rent). It started in neighborhoods like his, then expanded to other neighborhoods as the cheap real estate in the poor neighborhoods became as expensive as the other neighborhoods were.

Meanwhile businesses in Nashville may actually need to immediately raise their prices to keep up with the increased demand on their products.

    I've been living in Nashville for twenty years and been tossed out of not one, but two apartment complexes bought out from under me by developers. I don't dare go downtown anymore because the parking costs almost as much as the concert or club I wanted to get into. And one other thing the story didn't mention? Our conservative state legislature HATES Nashville and everyone who lives here, and routinely nullifies and overturns municipal legislation (our non-discrimination ordinance, our Community Oversight Board, etc.) that goes against its agenda.
    My advice to anyone who comes down here for a weekend and thinks Nashville would be a great place to live? Don't bother unless you make at least $100K a year. And if you do? Stay away, anyway; you're part of the problem.

The stock barns at the fairgrounds were bulldozed and a large soccer stadium now stands in their place. The old NASCAR track isn't gone, but they are still working on getting rid of it.

That created problems for Gaylord Entertainment's Opryland theme park, because the majority of their workers during the peak summer schedule were high school students. For the last couple years before they gave up and closed the theme park, Gaylord bought a large motel near the airport, then bussed in migrants from Texas and housed them in the motel with shuttle buses to take them to the park's employee entrance. The area near that motel was the first in Nashville to have more businesses with their signs in Spanish, than in English. The efforts to switch schools to a year round schedule ended when the school board could no longer deny what we natives had been telling them for years - that the air conditioning systems in the school buildings could not keep up with the summer heat if the classrooms were full.

    “I kind of miss the charm.” The charm was destroyed 10 years. Nashville is now just an oil field. It’s being exploited just like Country Music, just like anything else you can make money off of. If you haven’t lived here for at least 20 years you have no idea what you’re talking about. Developers have single handedly destroyed the city. It looks and feels just like any other city. It’s sad. Thanks a lot.

One of them moved from California to Nashville around a decade ago, opened a ramen restaurant because Nashville didn't have any ramen restaurants, and over the last six months has repeatedly been complaining to local TV stations that the current wave of people moving to Nashville from California is ruining the city, and that the government needs to pass laws similar to California in order to protect their ramen restaurant from failing (the prices in that restaurant are stupidly high, and I've heard from several people that the customer service is nowhere near what is generally considered the minimum for the area).

That tax increase and his efforts toward gun control are why he lost his position as Speaker and retired from politics a short time later. Nashville's current mayor is pushing for another increase in the sales tax rate, by increasing what the city charges on top of what the state charges. Both Naifeh and Nashville's current mayor are democrats.
