Chattanooga has been designated as the first National Park City in North America. The city's mayor Tim Kelly wants "to encourage folks to think about Chattanooga as a city in a park, rather than a city with some parks in it," in effort to establish the city and its community as one that prioritizes connecting people to the outdoors. https://www.chattanoogapulse.com/citylife/nature-outdoors/chattanooga-becomes-the-first-national-park-city-in-north-am/

You would forego most of your rights, especially as a woman living in the South. However, I love the idea and the city as a passerby (I'm originally from Atlanta). It's lush and tucked away between mountains with mostly manufacturing jobs... like the carpet capital of the world!

ATL represent! I grew up in Marietta and lived in Adair Park for a few years before moving to Austin! I've always loved Chattanooga as a daytrip destination but could never live there because of its isolated location and conservative values — somehow it has maintained this interesting dichotomy of progressive, beautiful art & nature with aggressively conservative ideology.

It is a small world; I was born and raised in Marietta on the west side, close to Kennesaw/Dallas. I've been in NYC for the last 8 years. I grew up going to Ruby Falls for field trips or when family/friends were in town or driving up to Nashville. Love the idea of the city and hope the idea spreads to different cities.
