Similarities and differences of the three Cities of the Future |

Posted by Peter Rosa on Mon Jul 13 14:28:42 2026 Austin, Columbus and Nashville. Three cities which I 100% believe have bright shining futures. Here’s a list of some similarities and differences.- All are state capitals, of pro-business states. There is a state income tax in Columbus, but not in the other two. - Austin and Columbus are home to their state’s flagship universities. Nashville is not. - All three have automobile assembly plants, with thousands of high-paying jobs. Austin has Tesla, Columbus has Honda, and Nashville has both GM and Nissan. - While all three have major airports, Columbus’ a bit behind the other two, none are currently hubs for any airline. - Each one is a predominantly Democratic city in an overwhelmingly Republican state. - Culturally, Austin has a vibrant live music scene, a lot of outdoor recreation, and hosts the SXSW music and arts festival. Nashville is the undisputed center of country music and is arguably the country’s top destination for bachelorette parties. Both cities in general are major tourist draws. Columbus does not have a large tourist industry, except possibly for Ohio State football games, and its one significant festival is the rather niche-y Arnold Classic fitness and strength sports expo (pretty obvious where it got that name). All in all, despite some differences all three cities have such dynamic futures and pro-business atmospheres I consider them just variations on the same theme. |
