....Birmingham which is not at all a growth juggernaut itself.

Huntsville is the largest city in Alabama now and
I believe Montgomery is second , slightly
ahead of Birmingham in population.
Birmingham metro area is largest though , at
1.1+ million.

Yeah, 123% of the state of Alabama’s growth in the past two years has been in metro Huntsville, Daphne-Fairhope, Tuscaloosa, and Auburn. The rest of the state is as a whole losing population.

Metro Birmingham is still by far the largest population center at just under 1.2 million. Metro Huntsville is now at 515,000, so not quite half the size. Birmingham however is stagnant. It has added just 565 people in the past two years (+.05%).

my considerations for retirement:

- staying in NWA
- Conway (Arkansas)
- Florence/Muscle Shoals
- Huntsville, AL - old friends there, haven't checked real estate. Guntersville is also cool.
- Oxford - but real estate has gone bonkers high there. Old friends there, would want something lakeside, Memphis being up the road makes me fricking depressed
- Gulf coast anywhere from Mississippi to Florida panhandle, the deciding factor being a great real estate deal
- passively checking out Laramie or Cheyene, WY, work in any political campaign opposing Liz Cheney
- might even check out Idaho/Montana, get a cowboy hat
- disappearing into the Ozark mountains never to be heard from again
- Boone, NC
- still love Nashville, but would rather be close to visit instead of living there, maybe something rural between Huntsville and Nash. Can't stand what Nashville has become. but many people there I love
