Thoughts from a visitor (IGNORE THE PERSON BELOW)

The person below me said to not bother with Nashville, this was what he said (if you want you can skip this portion):
"If you like the following, you’ll love Nashville:
1. Scary, terrible drivers
2. Very high violent crime rate
3. Conservatives
4. High humidity
5. Poverty
6. Mostly uneducated population."
Now here's what I think about this. First the drivers, of course you're gonna have bad drivers, what big city doesn't? Now about the crime, I can't really say how bad the crime is because I don't live here but I have travelled through here several times. But as someone who was born and raised in the St. Louis area, I can guarantee that the crime isn't as bad in Nashville as it is there, or even Memphis. Thirdly conservatives, this was the part where I realized the person below is from the West Coast. Surprisingly, Nashville is quite liberal. You would think the country music capital of the world would be as conservative as can be but nope. Fourthly, the humidity. This is the only problem I can actually see being a problem, the humidity is bad down south which might be a dealbreaker for some of y'all. Fifth, the poverty. Again, I can't say what the poverty is like since I don't live here, but the unemployment rate is at 3.2% which is 0.5% below the national average. Finally the claimed uneducated population. Yet again, I don't know the average intelligence of a Nashville resident, but I'm pretty sure the people there are smarter than the backwoods of Tennessee.
Now here are my thoughts: It's a nice place, if you like country music then this is the place to be.
