Interestingly, none of the above links you post actually say anything positive about Memphis.

The Money Magazine one only allows you to "compare " Memphis to one of their top places to live.

There are tradeoffs with everything, I lived on the planet for five years. It certainly had its advantages with regard to the job. For ME that was about it. Others certainly enjoy it! We're all different.

I liken it to that "dysfunctional relationship", you don't realize how bad it really is, until you get away from it.
