I believe the sprawl outside of Chicago lost residents over that period and the sprawl outside Nashville is responsible for most of the area's growth. It certainly tracks that people whose main priority is to avoid paying taxes and fees would move someplace without sidewalks.

Can we stop the strawman?
It's been said many times here, but let me repeat:
Its not that we have the second-highest property taxes in the country, its that we have the second-highest property taxes and have leaders who waste our money. If the city and state were ran fabulously, the taxes wouldn't be an issue, it would be the simple price to pay for the privilege of living here. However, we are getting shit in comparison to what we pay in taxes.
