My local airport has hourly flights to Atlanta which take 50mins. It has 6 gates and the TSA agent is named Robert. Security takes me about 20 seconds. Perhaps 60 seconds if there is a line - by which I mean 1 person in front of me. This has been a blessing more times than it has been a curse when traveling - and I travel a lot. Just an alternative point - not saying you are wrong, just that there are pros and cons for both options.

Depends on what you are looking for. Small town of 50,000 - 70,000 people metro?
Johnson City, TN Sevierville, TN Pigeon Forge, TN Gatlinburg, TN Bristol, TN Kingsport, TN Larger metro areas? Knoxville, TN Chattanooga, TN

20 year Houstonian here
Pros: food scene, suburban areas for settling down, nightlife, major airport, sports teams, events (i.e. Houston Auto show), construction being done to mitigate traffic, opportunities for jobs, largest medical center in the world, close to the beach (Galveston), good shopping Cons: summers are rough and long, humid most of the year, not many touristy attractions to impress visitors, downtown area is weak/not much to do, concrete jungle, hurricanes/flooding |

Unless you're in oil and gas I wouldn't say Houston pay is high. I doubled my salary moving from Houston to Seattle in a couple years. |

Johnson City is high on my list. Love east Tennessee. I’ll start digging in deeper in the upcoming years, but how’s the job market in the smaller cities? Continuing no income tax is nice.

Move where the money is. Otherwise I pick Arizona out of all the states you listed.

I think all are great. But the two I highlighted above can get very crowded with tourists...almost to the point where you can't move. And most of them are of the older generation (nothing wrong with that). I think they have been compared to Branson. But reminiscing with my dad yesterday....every time he would take off for a few days, it would be to go there as he and my mom loved that place.

I have heard Bristol is beautiful, but haven’t really visited yet. Gatlinburg is great but definitely touristy. I would say, anything however in that part of the state is a unique place to live. I personally like Knoxville a lot, and it didn’t feel that large the last couple of times I visited. But just large enough to have the airport, and food options etc.

Plus I moved to Orange County a few years ago, I tried to pay the Californians back, but 2008 happened so I came back to where the jobs are. |

I enjoy Knoxville, it has everything most folks would want and is much larger than most folks think it is, since there is a large amount of smaller towns that for all intents and purposes are really part of Knoxville (think Turkey Creek, Strawberry Plains, Oak Ridge, etc). Quote:
I love the town. Job market is pretty good depending on what you are looking at. In general, around here, we tend to struggle to fill roles since the employee pool isn't very good. As such, if you are marketable, you can usually command a strong wage. I have had a position for an engineer open at my employer now for 111 days. I am willing to offer market rates comparable to large metro areas in an area where COL is much lower, but am still struggling to fill. Plenty of jobs here if you are a solid candidate.
