Birmingham is not that far away (https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/best-places-live-in-us-2022-2023)

Family of my in-laws live in Huntsville. Very nice tow from the little I have seen. They certainly love it there.

Probably has a lot to do with the close proximity to Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ.

I like it. Don't love it. Have spent many days there. Will be there Friday on business.

I love these lists because they're interesting, but I swear you could make them any way you want.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Lexington, for example. There's no way I would choose Huntsville over Lexington, eliminating my UK bias, for example. Even eliminating UK being in the city, although, to be fair, it enhances the quality of life so much.

And lest someone think it's a Kentucky bias, I prefer Hoover and Vestavia Hills over Huntsville, although they are smaller and suburbs of Birmingham.

I do like Huntsville 100x better than Montgomery and some multiple better than Mobile as a place to live, though.

And I like Huntsville a lot. It has a lot going for it. Just not at the top of the 1st charts to me.

Of course, everybody will value things differently.

Department of Defense has announced it plans to move the Headquarters of the US Space Command to Huntsville. That will be a big deal.

Yep. There is a strong knowledge base there.

More likely IMO that Senator Shelby cashed in his DC chips. ;)

Shelby is King of Pork in DC. Some folks hope his cute little protege continues the good work.
