Sweet Home Alabama
You can say that again, Hi how are you ?
This state gets a bad rap too often. It's actually my favorite state and I have lived all over the country and even out of the country and Alabama is actually a great place to live.
You got that right!!!
What's the best city to visit
ROLL TIDE!! Huntsville is the best city in Alabama in my opinion.
@@bigjonah5503 the beaches
Probably good it gets a bad rap otherwise all the Californians would out bid in the housing market 😆 TN is starting to have issues with this. I'm in Vegas and the cost of housing has gone up almost 20%, I want to get the hell out of Vegas.
I have lived in Alabama for many, many years, great place!
I’m 14 and lived in Alabama my whole life
I was born in Alabama. I have lived in Alabama, Texas, Florida, Mississippi and Virginia and a total of 3 other Continents (Africa, Europe and the Middle East). I ended up back in my hometown in Alabama and built a house in the middle of a 1000 Acre Wilderness Area. My neighborhood consists of 18 houses all on 2-3 Acre Estates. In this area there are only about 10 other houses in the 1000 Acres. I love my State.....Rolllll Tide!!
@@LifeTries_STEVE Born in Jasper, lived in Bham and Huntsville...now living in Jasper.....ROOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL Tide Roll!!
i can tell you were born in alabama since your not very smart
Wow wish I was there that's what I like yea these garbage developers are destroying upstate SC I look to move all the time but don't know where to go but I think Bama alot.
Congratulations!
I'm from Great Britain my dream would be to live in Alabama I couldn't tell you that there are better people anywhere else on earth, I have never seen people more like-minded to myself anywhere else and the amount of freedom you have over there makes Britain look like North Korea.
With an attitude like that, I'd gladly have you as a neighbor :)
Come on over brother.
@startpacking8204 you done a great job with this video, I subscribed and ROLL TIDE ROLL
I was born in Decatur in 1956, moved to Michigan with parents in 1964, bought a house in Southside Dec. 4. 2020 and moved back! It's good to be home, ROLL TIDE!!!
RTR
Roll Tide!!!
Well I was born and raised in North Alabama now live on the West coast. Have relatives and friends all over the state. Miss my home state but not all the rain and storms. However, that is what makes it so beautiful. I was surprised about the crime increase. I hope Alabama does not have the problems California has with housing. I guess we will have to live in tents.
Almost liked this comment, War Damn Eagle

This is very true, Alabama is wonderful!
Yeah you can say that again,Hi how are you doing ?
Beautifully said. I’m Army and fell in love w. Huntsville a city of engineers and scientists, when I attended a military funeral for a fellow brother in arms. I plan to retire there in a few years.
I live in Alabama and this video is pretty accurate. Huntsville is the biggest Hotspot with high paying jobs and lots of entertainment. The city just became the largest in the state with explosive growth.
Hi Cornelius, I'm from Dhaka the capital city of Bangladesh, could you please tell me which specific month the hurricane normally occurred around the year?
@@afreensworld786 June 1st to November 30th. With storms picking up in august and September. Not to worry unless you live in gulf shores/ south Alabama. The rest of the state just gets pelted with rain for a week. Maybe a spin off tornado but everything usually comes out fine.
I am a Home Inspector in South Alabama and I have performed more inspections from people from out of state in 2021 than I have the whole time I have been a Home Inspector. Some have told me they moved here to prevent from becoming homeless. I have so many clients from out of state, that I put up a video on my channel, letting them know what to expect when they move here.
Can you send me the link please?
Wow ! I’ve been in Los Angeles all my life, now I’m 50! 38 million population in state , it’s horrible now over here in Los Angeles county. I’m ready to get out of this hell hole. Nothing but entitlement and people looking for validation 24:7 in expensive leased cars and expensive rentals to show off 😂
Alabama gets a bad rap simply because it is the "south". Seems others just won't let go of the past so we continue to end up on the wrong list a lot. Alabama is a great place to live and work. Yes we've got our problems but tell me one state that doesn't.
Southern Comfort and Mint Julep!👍
@@laurie7689 yummy😁
I met a lovely guy in Birmingham.... I'm in south africa.... Hope I can call this state home someday. I live watching these vids.
I'm a New Yorker but I've always had an interest in Alabama. I have to visit Alabama and Texas one day. I've been to Knoxville Tennessee because i got family over there but that's as southern as I've gotten lol.
Thank you for your video!
I just moved back to Massachusetts 6 weeks ago.
I lived in Huntsville, Alabama for 28 yrs .
But i also love the winter in Massachusetts ( Snow ❤)
Lots of hurricanes or tornadoes 🌪 In Alabama? I’ve lived in Los Angeles all my life and I’m ready to get out of here at 50, debt free.
@@nightowl6811 We do occasionally have tornadoes. The hurricanes usually only affect the lower Mobile area.
Dauphin island here lower Alabama quite & peaceful.. only time it gets loud here is during Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo RTR
Sounds amazing :)
I live in West Mobile but I work on the island
@@statutoryape3912 you working for the island ? I used to work for the campground back in the days whew many days ago I was in my teens and now 55 lol wow I am old. 😂
@@johngray2526 I bring every piece of mail onto the Island and take every piece off. I love Dauphin Island. Everytime I come over that bridge it gets more beautiful and I have done it literally 1000s and 1000s if times.
@@statutoryape3912 that's cool I've missed the island and wanting to move back but things are hard right now but I still love the island too lol missing the fishing
Home sweet home American by birth Southern by grace of god
Alabama was the best kept secret till UA-cam. Welcome twoAlabama,
We like the Old Paths, that's what makes Alabama so great, not change.
David, thanks for watching/commenting. So, I made these videos for people who are looking to move (somewhere). But I'm noticing most of the comments are from people who already live in Alabama. This is sort of a surprise. What brought this video to your attention? Why did you watch? Happy to have you, but I need to know this stuff as I grow the channel :)
Yeah Alabama. Alabama like all other states has it's good and bad. There are things that need to be corrected like all states. We should not stereotype. Just because a few apples are bad does not mean all the apples are bad. There are many good things about the state. Think of it that way.
I have lived in Alabama all my life and all of that sounds about right.
Lots of hurricanes?
Hi 👋 tell me please Hale county in Alabama is it save is it beautiful
Don't forget the Flora Bama Party
I've been all over the world and I wouldn't give up my place in AL for anything
The drivers are slower and more considerate😂😂😂 that’s funny
That was an awesome video, thank you! ROLL TIDE!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very comprehensive video. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
I didn't like the video, I LOVED IT. Thanks for a fair and balanced look at our state. The only thing I would add to your video is the place UAB medical center plays in the overall economy of the state. The university of Alabama Birmingham is highly regarded both nationally and internationally for its medical center and research centers. Thanks very much for the vid , keep up the good work.
Thank you :)
just about 10 more months before I can start looking for a nice rural home with an acre or 5.
Exact same situation here. Blessings to you in your house and land hunt! 🙏
Same here!! I cannot make up my mind where tough, so many choices!
Yes. I enjoy your videos.
I've been to Huntsville three times. I love it. The only thing I was Disturbed about was all the cockroaches. I love it there,and would love to move there someday.
Smile yeah you can say that again, Hi how are you doing ?
Detailed video, thanks for so much efforts.
I'm looking to come to Troy University to study for a semester, as my semester abroad. I'm from Belgium and I had 3 choices for university in the US, Missouri state, Lindenwood, and Troy University and Troy looks the most appealing to me. I hope I can come
Troy is a good school. 👍🏾
I am thinking of moving to Alabama in 18 months' time, I was thinking of Birmingham, as I have a few friends there!
I met a lovely guy from Birmingham.... I'm in south africa.... Hope I can call this state home someday. I live watching these vids.1
Jeep life Alabama
Born in Alabama, grew up there, loved the place, but moved out in 2003 and don't plan to go back. The politicians don't give a damn about it citizens, could care less about healthcare or education for its citizens.
Good people there no doubt.
Totally agree. I can’t believe that we elected a football coach who didn’t pay attention in civics class.
Sort of like alot of democrat states to ( oh wait they just raised taxes again) besides all the liberal cater to everyone tactic that complains the most ---see leftist woke agenda
Show me a place in the US where the politicians care about anybody.
Heart of Dixie
Yo vivo en Birmingham y es hermoso mi Alabama ❤️🌹☀️🌸🌷🌱☘️🌿🌼🏄♂️🏄♀️🏊♀️🐋🌊⛲🌧️🐠
Alabama is the best state to live in, in my opinion
I lived in 38 states. Alabama is at the bottom of the list for places to live.
@@robertmalecki9633 how come? I've lived in two other states but I have visited about half of the others and been to about 15 other countries. The only other states I'd consider living in is Utah, Texas, or the Carolinas
@@robertmalecki9633 Please don't come back .
Roll tide!
You showed an LSU stadium while talking about Auburn. Lol
Heh. yeah this was the first video I did on this topic (states). I work with a lot of stock video, as well as 'real' video/pictures of the various places. This one got missed. :) It's why I have more sympathy for Game of Thrones leaving a coffee cup in one of the shots...
government and judicial system as CROOKED AS IT GETS
Always has been will always be.
Nice video these facts are pretty spot on Alabama is one of those places that have been plagued with racism and stereotyped for that over the years and being too country but in overall I enjoy the southern hospitality and long as u avoid certain areas which are over run with criminal activity or racism it's actually not a bad place to live and is one of the better states among southern states but it's not perfect as with all states but I wouldnt chose any other place to live. #RTR
I always come home to Alabama.
Me too I would love to be there, Hi how are you doing ?
Don't they say? Sweet home Alabama
Deborah tansey when I get back home we need to hangout
Comments are very useful. ❤❤❤
I’m an Evangelist and I am looking forward to preach over there
Read some science books instead ☺️
Great video
Thanks, Tony :)
Some good info, but a little off on the housing . The film of houses you used for examples are not what goes along with the medium priced housing. Enjoyed the video though!
Lol, agreed on the example houses. My problem is all the stock video available (to me) is of nice houses, not houses like mine! :)
I would like to visit Dr. Kings home and let go of myself in the night life of the beautiful town..
Talk about ALL the taxes, especially the sales tax on groceries and medicine. In Montgomery it’s 10%! In Florida, it’s 0%, and there’s no State income tax.
Florida has way more issues than taxes: hurricanes, alligators, immortality, and De Santos.
Florida has a lot higher insurance, be it homeowners or auto. Plus, flood insurance. We are looking at both Alabama and Florida. Alabama definitely offers more affordability
BUY U Some acreage and put a travel trailer on it live real cheap save up pay house in cash
Alabama is a peaceful state, full of Good people who believe in Jesus Christ, and the Grace of God salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Alabama, where they put God first instead of government.
Too many bad tornadoes 🌪️ hurricanes 🌀 bad terrible storms
Mobile is the most unique city in Alabama
Dont forget the rubicon alabama 600-1 talladega
Ann Hodges was hit by a meteorite in sylacauga Alabama
I just wanted to say, War Eagle since there are so many rooting for that other team.
“Drivers take their time on the road” lol idk where you found that info bc they are wild out here
Was just about to comment this. Even going 10 over the limit I'm constantly tailgated by someone who thinks they can make me go faster.
Can you also tell me which is better tuscaloosa or Birmingham for living.
I'm going to cop out on this one and leave it to the comments. There are already a lot of comments with opinions on Birmingham. Take people's opinions with a grain of salt, because it depends on what you're looking for. Cheers :)
@@startpacking8204 thanks
Both quite different Tuscaloosa and Birmingham have a lot of crime in areas Tuscaloosa doesn't have much to do until football Birmingham has stuff year round Tuscaloosa 50 thousand people Birmingham 1.5 million
@@williammoran4898 Tuscaloosa is at 100k
too good
Is there a video about the State of Arkansas on this channel ?
51 year old have lived in Alabama small town Hartselle if you want to live somewhere that's 20 years behind civilization then this state he is for you
The saying is Rollllllll Tide
Umm, that's not, "Butter my BREAD." 😊
I made a mistake and moved here. I thought it would be a good First start New Life after getting hurt on a job after 21 years big mistake. I have found some people okay others a nightmare They still Christ off the cross and go back after the cross and not think twice about it. People are also rude on the roadways.
Can you please tell me is there any snowfall in tuscaloosa or birmingham
There can be, but lots of snow is rare. In 1993, many counties had a lot of snow. Birmingham got 10 inches.
Very little, we get a couple of dustings most winters.
Moved there for about a year. People didn't want anything to do with me or my children, called them dam yankees. Found out because my daughter came in to ask me what a dam yankees was. My answer was " it means you are a good loving person".
And what school was this?
@@laurie7689 Not all Yankees are like that, some southern are the same way. I was raised with love and understanding for all and to speak and treat others with respect. I don't cause or use foul language and apparently I speak softly because everybody asked me to please speak up. So please don't pick on all just because if a few, I never have not would I.
Alabama is a great state in many ways and it's growing fast, but yet it's not in other areas of it. It has a lot of work still to do. Crime is a huge issue in the state and i can't believe THE GOVERNOR WHY SHE hasn't step in and tried to get a handle on this big problem like many governors across the US need to do, to officially correct it with law enforcement!! WTF!! But all 50 states have negatives and if someone from those states tell you they don't, they told you the biggest lie ever!! I'm orig. from Alabama but live in Pennsylvania and i can tell you that Pa. has a lot and i mean a lot of negatives, this is a bull crap state!! starting with the weather, high crooked taxes. they run a good ole boy set up in the state, the bad government how they run the state. a bad governor, more bad roads and bridges still need done, people can be cool or ok but so many of them have that nasty northeast mindset, or attitude so you really got weed out the good people here, better economy ,bad crooked politicians, a bad crooked good ole boy road maintenance dept. call PENNDOT!! and the list goes on!! any state you move too , you take the good and the bad depending what you wanna deal with.
Glad to see the good reports, but please if anyone thinks about moving here, please leave behind all the bad things you are running from. You know, " when in Rome, do as the Romans". Don't ruin the south with failed northern or west coast social liberalism. Keep Alabama taxes and living expenses lower than the rest of the nation by not taxing the people into oblivion. Oh, and I am one of those with a bachelor's or above that live in Bama and wouldn't trade my conservative southern principles.
Is it safe for an East Asian family to move to Alabama?
Absolutely. I'm half Japanese and have lived in south Alabama for 40 years. Never had a problem. There's a huge Vietnamese community down here, too. They'll probably tell you the same thing.
How nice is Athens, AL?
I haven't been there, so you'd have to look at some google street views to see the architecture (or visit), but the crime rate is lower than most of Alabama, yet higher than most cities in the US. Chance of being a victim of violent crime is 1 in 2100 (vs 1 in 196 for Alabama as a whole). Housing is spiking at 21%, and is around 240k on average, with expensive houses on the outskirts at 400k+.
@@startpacking8204 ok, thanks
it's a small city/ large town that's really peaceful and has alot of affordble homes if you can find any up for sale the only down side is when people get housing they tend to stay there for years which i think is an actual good thing but the crime rate is very low compared to other cities, but the town has everything u need and its close enough to major cities like Birmingham, Huntsville and etc. for commuting for jobs or business and has a great school system in the city but stay away from the county schools if you can. So overall one of the better cities I've lived in and been to.
Thank you.
@@mattbradbury6748 No problem
See you later alligator!♡
The only places in Alabama that are cheap, are the places you don't want to be. Bama is violent. Like 6th most. You have to spend the $$ for safety.
@@michaelstallings5824 I have family in Alabama and I’ve lived all over Alabama, Anniston, Ohatchee , Gadsden, Birmingham, Montgomery, Brewton , Ragland and he’s correct , specially the bigger cities and we all know why.

I live in North Alabama. Love it and own 127 acres. Never had a problem with crime in our small town. This is Gods Counyry
@@graceandmercyleslie3968 I'm down in Baldwin. Safe here, but very expensive.
That is sad to learn about the crime. It has changed a lot or I was not aware. Yes indeed crime needs to be corrected in all states. I moved away in 2017.
Love Alabama, but y’all gotta start doing something about the crime you have there .
A safe address doesn't exist.

Alabama needs a Lottery and casinos stop hiding behind the book I see u buying tickets and at the casino think about the revenue
Crooked politicians!!
Can any state be different just for the sake of doing so? Go buy tickets in MS, GA or TN.
Maybe if they get a lottery they can pay for a bridge they should have had 20yrs ago without them crying about a Toll
It sucks
Hate living in Alabama, the north suburbs of Atlanta is so much better
Leave then.
