I already moved from Nashville in February because the cost of housing was insane for what you got. I am in the back 3rd of my career and was not about to take on a 30yr mortgage in TN when I could be living debt free outside Cleveland.
We're pregnant and we're moving back to my hometown after 7 years of growing my finance career in Nashville
I actually have a very reasonable mortgage and like the home I'm in, however, I'm in the process of getting divorced and I can use the equity from my current home to pay cash for a place in the country with more land. There are some disadvantages relative to commute and access to the city's amenities, but if the pandemic and riots have taught me anything, it's that country living is worth some minor inconveniences. The idea of no mortgage before I turn 50 next year and some peace and quiet doesn't hurt.
I'm moving because of a bad roommate situation that got exceedingly worse when we both had to start working from home and neither one of us could escape.
Over big city politics. Moving to a more normal area
The cost of living and continued rise in protesting and violence. I can do my job anywhere so I am looking for a slower and quieter place to be.
Rekindled a relationship during COVID quarantine. Him and I have been traveling back and forth to see each other. My new full remote status makes it easier to mobilize and I’ll probably move south once my 14 month lease is up in November.
My job is now completely remote so I do not need to be in the city anymore. I'm moving because I'm a country person at heart and love having access to a car and the outdoors. Not to mention, I'd love a bigger living space and more privacy.
Looking to get time away from NYC -- expense and job fluidity
My fiance and I have lived in New York for four years and are getting married in September. We fled to Nashville in mid-march to quarantine and have some extra square-footage in her parents' house. Living with the future in-laws has been a bit of a struggle, and since we're getting married, we are going to rent an apartment in Nashville for six months. The thought of getting hitched and then going into the guest room here was too overwhelming...so after those six months we're going to make the call on moving back to NYC.
My girlfriend and I want to buy a house and even with pretty solid incomes, its an impossibility in LA.
Moving back home. Hazleton sucks.
I'm a new orthodontist that just finished my orthodontic residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We had already decided to leave Chicago after my graduation before the pandemic hit in order to escape the super saturated dental market that had little to no opportunities for full time orthodontists. Nashville was the exact opposite and I found myself being recruited by multiple orthodontic offices whose pay was much higher than the orthodontic positions available in Chicago, despite the lower cost of living in Nashville compared to Chicago.
