The rent has been rising in Nashville, dramatically increasing either commutes to get back into the city . . . or expendable income, as you refuse to leave.

Local renters say many parking lots are “now filled with out-of-state plates.” This often means residents of other states are experiencing Tennessee’s lower cost of living.

Which is great, but what if the folks there already can’t afford the rising rents as well?

People are just going to be left in a situation of commuting an hour, two hours,” Bates said. “I know many people do that, and it’s tough, especially with gas prices the way they are right now.”
