Yep, Mobile, for a bowl game during college. Had some of the best crab cakes I've ever had in my life there.

Alabama is one of those interesting states,like Kansas, where all these liberals(who I assume never lived there or been there) talk about how bad it is but then you go there and think it's not really a bad state, it's just another state.

So you're saying it's a not a bad state because it's not quite as bad as the worst specific attributes of specific cities of other states?

Cause that's not how that works.

Whatever they're doing right, they're clearly not reporting their real economy to the census correctly because they're literally only not worse off than 3 states.

So what makes it so bad when it's nowhere near these rates in these so called great cities? I mean, I get some people prefer urban, and some people prefer rural but that's not good enough to discredit a state

Also, U.N officials literally said we have some of the worst poverty rates in the developed world.

You do realize that Chicago, Baltimore, and New York Cities are cities, while Alabama is a state, right?

Pretty much all states have massive rural areas.

Pretty much all of those states aren't 48th in poverty rates.

Here's some more articles talking about our shitty quality of life, including an Alabama ran site:
https://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/blog/2014/10/alabama-ranked-second-worst-state-for-quality-of.html
http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/ugh_only_4_states_have_a_worst.html
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/11/americas-10-worst-states-to-live-in-2017.html

As someone who's lived in and seen the normal living conditions, it's real bad. Certain parts of the state, like Huntsville and Tuscaloosa, are slowly improving, but it's a slow build, and the worst parts of Huntsville are still REAL bad.

When I was in high school and college, I'd spend the summer and winter breaks in Florida working construction with my uncles. One year, we got a contract to work on Eglin Air Force Base, so we lived in Crestview FL, and the house was two minutes from the Alabama border. It sucked because those people are awful, but at least we could drive five minutes to a gas station and get smokes for a third of the price.
