When exactly was the last time you were in Huntsville? The downtown area has been revitalized with new Hotels, apartments, restaurants, and trendy micro-breweries. The Lowe Mill area is becoming a new hot spot to buy houses/real estate now that the subsidized housing has mostly been removed off Governor's drive. Campus 805 is thriving as well as Stove House. Mid-city has new restaurants, bars and activities for young professionals. New subdivisions and apartments all over. The list of good companies to work for in Huntsville is too long to list. Name a better place to live in Alabama than Huntsville...it isn't even close. Huntsville was named #1 place to live in the USA. You are either trolling or haven't been to Huntsville in a long time.

Huntsville is an interesting city because a large part of the metro area population actually lives in the city itself whereas most of the Birmingham metro area lives outside of the Birmingham city limits.

I think that speaks to the city's ability to be inviting and avoid people deciding to commute from the country-side.
