In-N-Out made headlines after announcing it will open up shop in Tennessee. But lost in the hubbub is the state's use of California to solve an identity crisis.
So what have Gov. Lee and his predecessors done to quell such grumbles? Make Tennessee great again … by bringing in more California.For years, Californians have flocked to states like Texas, Arizona and Nevada. Less recognized is the growing number of people leaving for Tennessee.
More California corporations big and small have followed, from the parent corporation of Carl’s Jr. — another beloved Southern California burger chain — in 2018 to slushie makers Icee the following year. A Hoover Institution report released last fall showed that 31 California companies moved to Tennessee from 2018 to 2021, trailing only Texas.
He’s not completely wrong. Tennessee has no income tax and fewer regulations than California. There’s also the billions of dollars the state has spent to entice companies to set up shop there. But hey, if Carl’s Jr., whose burgers went south long before they moved their headquarters to the region, could get at least $2 million to ease its relocation, surely Snyder deserves more.
I don’t come at all this as a liberal, out-of-touch Californian. Why, I extolled Tennessee just last weekend to cousins who were wondering why so many of their friends were buying homes out there. When they joked about rednecks and Klan members, I responded that the countryside would remind them of the villages of our parents, while the lifestyle meshes well with our rancho libertarian ways.
