My hometown! I love Birmingham and it will always have my heart. It’s a ton of great restaurants, the people truly do get along, and the suburbs are really nice.
Thanks! Always love feedback. The job market would probably require another video entirely! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about moving here. Our team is happy to help!
Do not. I have lived here my whole life. Spent the weekend in Huntsville and as soon as I finish grad school I am heading there. It is a much better place.
A huge con for me is that mountain passes funnel traffic into narrow areas resulting in colossal traffic jams twice a day, and accidents can back up the limited access for double digit miles with hour or longer delays.
She's spot on. The crime rate in Birmingham is very high, probably best if you don't look it up, but it is mostly black on black crime, so if you're not in those areas it is relatively safe.
Thanks for commenting Jay! You gotta keep looking around. This is an awesome place to live and cheap. Hiking, biking, lakes, rivers, downtown, uptown, golf, architecture, concerts, and the food!
Having grown up in Alabama, and even living in Birmingham for a time, i can say i woukd gladly pay any price to never live in that absolute dogshit state again
I live about an hour away from Birmingham. And about one hour away from Huntsville. 95 out of 100 times i will go to Huntsville. Just look at the census population decline, if it was really great it wouldn't be losing people
@@heythere6983 Huntsville is HALF the size of Birmingham AREA WISE, and barely has the population now, its always been the 4th largest city until they started ANNEXING all around them just for the population. It doesn't have the infrastructure that Birmingham has, and is NO SAFER than Bessemer! Nothing to do you couldn't find in Gadsden or Bessemer or Wetumpka except visit the space center!
@@JDDees I think i dont want to live in birmingham anymore, when i looked into crime rates ETC. Taxes arent low either, I think I wont consider alabama anymore

I’m really considering moving to Birmingham. You were very honest but you didn’t mention the Job market there.

@heythere6983 are you planning a move to a poor black neighborhood in Birmingham?
@@bryantrammell1831 im not familiar with the area. Thats why im asking.
@@heythere6983 stay 15 or 20 miles outside bham and you will be good
Bham was great before blacks moved in
Well said.
The reason sales tax is high is property tax is low
@@sneakyquick not true
Lol this isn't the local Birmingham experience and she's more Mountain Brook. She's in a ritzy bubble.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢thanks a lot my love
There’s many places in Birmingham that the police don’t go to by themselves. Dangerous
Always do the pros last.😅
Tennessee has the same high sales tax, too.
Tennessee is 9 percent sales tax.
@@clawhammer704 9. something, basically the same.
LOL Birmingham doesn't have a river running through the middle of it; they have a railroad turned into a park! (Would rather have the river.... lol)
MANY CREEKS RUN THROUGH BIRMINGHAM.... at times they look like RIVERS!
smokeshow
It’s ‘the’ largest city in the state.
Huntsville is
I moved here a year ago, I wouldn’t recommend it, if you want to have a life and have things to do outside of going to a college football game

@Jay - nerds tend to stay at home anyway!
Please do not move to Birmingham Alabama. This is a genuine warning
Haven’t been there in 40 years!

Move outside bham. Very dangerous. I've lived here all My life
Well once you leave things should be SAFE!
