like everything else in america, you can't honestly discuss the phenomenon of cities like nashville and austin without also talking about race.
nashville and austin and portland and denver and other US city media darlings have become, for one reason or another, places that white people (and their money) have deemed to be worthy enough to live in, to visit, and to invest in).
whereas cities like cleveland and st. louis and memphis and birmingham and others, ehhhh not so much.
just like the coded language that's often used within cities for "good neighborhoods" and "bad neighborhoods", there's also a degree of that playing out at the macro level with "good cities" and "bad cities".
it sucks, and i don't like it, but there it is.
