I realize this is rhetorical, but the answer is that the majority of people aren’t single or double issue voters. They may be seeking to live in TN to avoid downsides of other states, making a tradeoff.

And then there are people who are politically diametric to you who are also great employees; these you probably don’t need to sell the idea of residency as much.

Between these two groups, there are enough such people to sustain job markets in every state.

most people, sure. but I'm trans and I don't think I'd like to live in a state that's harassing me. there's legitimate concerns about how livable places are for certain groups based on state policy and community prejudice.

I'm not trans and I also wouldn't like to live somewhere where trans people are harassed. It's just not a vibe I want in my life.

Note I didn’t even say “most people,” just majority. I know there are plenty of single-issue voters and residency selectors too.
