You get what you vote for... somehow, that lesson is never learned. As for me, safely ensconced down here in the mountains of East Tennessee, I will gladly watch from afar as NYC descends further and further into an experimental socialist society. The experiment has been run many times, and in true scientific method terms, the results are reproducible, from North Korea to Cuba to Albania... but the left never learns. NEVER!
And I suspect that even after NYC fails spectacularly, those on the left will STILL ache for "pure socialism" and give all kinds of excuses for why it didn't work yet again.
It's generally very nice here, maybe one or two days of Polar Vortex freeze each year, and August can get pretty hot, but overall it's a moderate climate. East Tennessee is mountainous and therefore milder.
Middle and west Tennessee are lower elevation and more flatland so it can get quite hot and prone to tornadoes in the spring.
No problem. Another thing you might consider is that the farther west you get in Tennessee, it changes politically too. East Tennessee is very red, with pockets of blue (University of Tennessee and certain minority enclaves), while middle and west TN are more ambiguous...the counties are mostly red but the cities of Nashville and Memphis are enemy-held territory as far as I'm concerned.

How's the weather in the mountains of Tennessee? I'm considering relocating from the hot & humid deep south for a change of climate?

Thanks for the reply. The information is very helpful.
