Weather this winter in CT was as mild as Nashville- perhaps milder. We are further north - but we have a rapidly warming body of water nearby- the green blue Atlantic. So summers though hotter then 10 years ago are not going to be the brutal heat seen in TN.
Winters will see more chilly weather- but that warming ocean nearby is eliminating the differences in winter temps. Both Hartford and Nashville have essentially the same climate designation now- 'humid temperate' or 'humid subtropical'. Climate change will make the mid to lower south increasingly hot and stormy over this decade.
Housing prices in greater Hartford- median home price 324K. Nashville 448K- this is a big difference. Rentals: 1 bedroom 1400.00 metro Hartford. Nashville near 1800.00.
Also consider this: Housing prices in central CT are seen as only 14% over valued. In Nashville metro they are seen as 46% over valued.
Employment growth in CT is strong- job growth strong in health care, education & specialized manufacturing. Central CT was never a strong IT center- but its old economic base of innovative manufacturing has made a strong rebound.
On the political side TN is a deep red state- which says it represents 'freedom'- but freedom for whom? I would find the state of TN strangling- with the government telling me how to live my life- every move I make. That's not freedom.
