Gulf Coast. Texas is ugly, and flat.

Near Caruthersville?

Cassville, don't know Caruthersville. I spend time in Table Rock though. It really is good country.

Probably Starkville. Tbh Nashville Auburn or Athens would be nice.
Definitely not Baton Rouge, Columbia(either) or Knoxville.

Dallas is big and full of shitty, tacky people.

I would never want to live in an SEC state again, but if I had to, I would probably prefer those two, in the order you listed them. The only southern states I would willingly live in are Virginia and maybe North Carolina.

Gainesville? Why on earth would anyone want to live in Gainesville? Have you been there? It's like a shittier version of Tuscaloosa.

Dallas for sure has become a shitshow in many respects. Same with Austin. Houston has been a shitshow since the 1980s.
I currently live in San Antonio and love it, but traveling between here and Dallas sucked because I had to go through Austin. It's like to get around in this state, you need a damn helicopter.
The roads are worse than Louisiana's. And that is saying a lot.
Born and raised in south Louisiana, would not live anywhere near New Orleans ever again, but I would live in south central, southwest Louisiana.
Lived in Mississippi near Hattiesburg for several years, then moved down to Ocean Springs before I came to San Antonio. I would live anywhere in Mississippi south of I-20.
I won't even buy gas in Alabama.
Brother lives in Destin, sister in Crestview. I'd live in the panhandle and I'd live in the West coast of Florida. Screw Georgia, but I like the SC coast

There's a mentality that exists in Dallas that turns me off to the place. Too many $30k millionaires driving BMW's and F-250s
But is the city really like that, once you get outside McKinney Ave and Preston Hollow? Yeah...it really is I guess.
I think places like Denton, Wylie, and Rockwall aren't too bad, but you're spending your life driving through traffic to afford a quickly-built tract house in a non-descript landscape full of anonymity and boredom.
Dallas is a boring place to live, in general, unless you are really, really, really into pro sports. Its best feature is the two airports with service to other places.
It is cleaner than Houston, but in all honestly, that's not holding up as Houston gets nicer downtown, and Dallas seems to be going more and more third-world. At least Houston has the coast nearby and some semblance of an outdoors culture. Dallas has Lake Texoma and its local lakes are a joke.

Zero culture there but the people act like their city is like NY or Chicago
Dallas still has a way to go in the "culture" department compared to NYC and Chicago... its just a newer city without as much history, so it will take awhile. However, relatively speaking, it won't be long before Dallas passes Chicago in population.
If you look at the entire Combined Statistical Areas of both Chicago and Dallas, at the current rates of growth, Dallas will pass Chicago in population by 2030.... Houston will even pass Chicago about 3 years later.
By 2040, the largest CSA/MSA's in America will look like this:
1. New York- 26.3 million
2. Los Angeles- 22.3 million
3. Washington-Baltimore- 12.6 million
4. Dallas-Ft. Worth- 12.4 million
5. Houston- 11.9 million
6. San Francisco-San Jose- 11.6 million
7. Chicago- 10.1 million
8. Miami- 9.5 million
9. Boston-Providence- 9.4 million
10. Atlanta- 9.2 million
11. Philadelphia- 7.6 million
Austin is on pace to be #20 by 2040... with a population of 4.3 million. San Antonio is on pace to be #22, at 4.1 million.
Texas is the future. Between now and 2040, the Texas Triangle (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and all in between) will likely add the same number of people to its population as the Northeast corridor (Washington, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Hartford, Providence, Boston) and the state of California COMBINED.
Those areas will still both each be larger in total population, but the majority of the growth is happening in Texas right now.

I don't think I'd ever live in Louisiana or Mississippi.
The older I get, the more small-town I get, but I want somewhere not oppressively hot and with a pretty landscape. If money were no object, maybe A30, in one of the nicer places there, or along SW Florida, Captiva, etc.
Apart from that, maybe E. Tennessee or North Georgia.

I don't see how I could ever live in Mississippi, unless was old and retired (Oxford) or I had a sweet setup off the coast.
Arkansas: depends on where. I could easily live in NW Arkansas, but anywhere else is not an option.
I live in Baton Rouge, and New Orleans is probably the only city I'd like to live in Louisiana longterm.
I'm pretty cool with the rest of the states. I'm doubtful on Kentucky, but I've never been actually.

Yeesh. That sounds terrible to me, frankly. I think population trends are hard to predict since most of the world has stopped expanding, apart from Africa.
All this talk of population growth makes me want to buy that acreage near the Buffalo River and live off the grid.

Would never live in MS. Have and would never again live in AL.
TX and TN are alright, FL maybe but it'd be pretty spotty. No real opinion either way on the other states

Baton Rouge, water tastes like shite
Stop drinking from your hotel faucet. I travel the nation and primarily the South for work, everywhere has worse. Baton Rouge uses a natural aquafier for water, they could essentially sell it as bottled. There are literally thousands of municipalities with nasty tasting water, yet you showed how little you've traveled by singling-out one of the best in the nation.
That's the problem with threads like this: guy's who went to 2 SEC away games post like they know as much as people who've been to every state and SEC town.
