Quaid Quits LA: 'Going Downhill' Amidst Unmet Services
10 Jun
Summary
- Quaid relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2020 amid the pandemic.
- He cited a lack of services despite high taxes in Los Angeles.
- Nashville offers a stronger sense of community compared to LA.
Actor Dennis Quaid has voiced his critical view of Los Angeles, noting a significant decline and a loss of community spirit. He stated that the city, which was once "nice," has been "going downhill," leading him and his wife, Laura Savoie, to relocate to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2020.
Quaid elaborated that the reason for his departure stems from the perceived lack of essential services despite residents paying substantial taxes. He contrasted this with the vibrant sense of community he experiences in Nashville, where neighbors know each other and people are more authentic.
Reflecting on his past statements from 2023, Quaid also mentioned the increasing isolation in Hollywood, where individuals often remain in their cars or trailers, engrossed in their phones, diminishing face-to-face communication. He hopes Los Angeles will recover from its current state.
