There's no lack of available land in TN though.

Knoxville and Chattanooga aren't growing

Nashville is a lot bigger and has more inertia etc., but the other two cities are growing.
The Chattanooga metro grew by nearly 11% in the last Census from 2000. Based on estimates, the rate will lower when the 2020 numbers come out, but certainly not bad for a ~500K metro.
Knoxville is a little bigger and seems to be performing a little better than Chattanooga. But again, not bad.
