What's a yitbo?
Into the ground.
You may think it looks better, but don't forget the 20,000,000 Mexicans, or is it 30,000,000?
Me, too (if you consider Antioch inner-city). Are you in the Mad Hatter's State Senate district ?
Well, "Hispanioch" is another thing altogether. I live in East Nashville. There are some nice homes in Antioch, but the language barrier!
Not only the confiscatory taxes, utilities and the lousy weather. everything is forbidden except that which is mandatory.
It's more Black than Hispanic where I live. I tend to think of Nolensville Road as being more what you describe. I've lived in the same house all my life (will be 33 years - a record for this notoriously transitory area), and the demographics completely shifted from all-White to what it currently is. Sadly, we don't know our neighbors anymore. All our former White neighbors fled to Rutherford and Williamson Counties.
"True, but you're still causing our taxes to rise."
Not really. Looks more like your city planners are not up to their jobs. Taxes SHOULD be paid for equally. When new peeps move in, the property taxes THEY pay should cover costs. The few exceptions being for new schools and other MAJOR expendatures. Heck, even increased police / firemen labor costs should be covered by the "newcomers" property tax. Sounds like you need to keep a closer eye on local pork spending to me.
I live in CT not Texas.

Is it that bad in Nashville now? I moved out to Colorado in 99' but was born and raised in West Nashville. I know that a lot of Mexicans moved in around my Dad before he passed.
It just depends on where you are. It's interesting that despite how many Hispanics are in Nashville, they have no representation, either on the Metro Council or legislature, although for the Council, that is likely to change in the next election.
My bad, read it then got hooked on the yankkes gone south thing! :)
Being from Boston I share your northern tax-paying pain. Now I am forced by military service to be in the Police State of Schumer-Clinton NY. Again it would be a great place were it not for the people who legislate AGAINST you 24/7/365.
Great news for the nation.
I'm anxious to see the political bloodbath that is coming here to Massachusetts in a few years. Can't come soon enough.
South on Nolensville Rd. from 440 I think a passport is required.

My husband and I moved from Maryland in 1999 after living there for 18 years. It is a mess. We now live in a rational and safe red state.
The government schools are horrible. The adult illiteracy rate in my rural county ( with only 1% immigrants) was an astounding 20%.
Well I left up there to get away from it... I don't care how we did it up there. I don't want it HERE. I feel when in Rome, or North Carolina...
NYC metro population is growing - upstate is being evacuated.
That's the ticket!
Unfortunately, they seem to be moving to Arizona, Nevada and Texas. I pray they are not bringing their liberal voting patterns with them.
