I am starting to consider moving from MN to Nashville next year. I've visited Nashville every year for the past five years and feel very comfortable there. It seems the cost of living is better there (especially cheaper housing and no income tax), the climate of course is better and it will put me much closer to many friends I've made in that part of the country. None of them want to come to MN! I have already established a tie with one church.
Challenges:
-Employment. I'm 51, not looking to be rich, just pay my bills and be able to take in the musical environment. I am a strong writer with knowledge of the music industry, and my other fall back areas are computer tech support and administrative assistant work. I've worked temporary before and am generally regarded as one of the strongest temps by any agency I've worked.
What's the job outlook there?
-Safety:
What are the safe affordable areas to live in? I know Brentwood and Belle Meade are among the safest but also the priciest. (By the way, I've walked around downtown at night on my own, never had any problems. But I've noted the panhandlers are some of the boldest I've encountered anywhere).
Any insights, comments or advice would be appreciated!
