Its nuances and diversity are too often overshadowed by Nashville's larger-than-life reputation, and its landlocked status does it image a disservice; Tennesseans do, in fact, have access to water-they have to fend off the Southern summer heat somehow-by way of lakes, streams, and major river systems.

Texas has welcomed a number of residents from less affordable parts of the country looking to get more for their money - and they may be on to something.

Singing about 381 Union Street, Allen explains: "Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors / And you've found us a brownstone, said 'You want it? It's yours' / So we went ahead and we bought it / Found ourselves a good mortgage / Billy Cotton got sorted / All the furniture ordered / I could never afford this / You were pushing it forward / Made me feel a bit awkward."
Benjamin Franklin famously said that nothing in life is certain except death and taxes. When I saw a recent article by Robert Bork Jr. claiming that the affordability crisis is due to some sort of Realtor tax, I stopped in my tracks.
