I like Birmingham, but it is getting left in the dust by Huntsville.
This has got to be a joke, right?
No, just the truth. Just look at what companies are coming to Huntsville vs any new ones coming to Birmingham. I do not have a dog in the fight, but I know both cities very well.

Yes, that's already been established. Huntsville is growing faster than Birmingham. But adding an extra 2,300 people more than Birmingham each year is not going to make up for a population deficit of over 650,000.
Austin, TX is the fastest growing major metro in the US... and has been for sometime. But guess what, its never going to catch Dallas or Houston. It just won't. Too much of a gap in between to ever catch up.
The same goes for Huntsville compared to Birmingham. A metro of 450,000 people is just not going to suddenly overtake one that has well over 1.1 million people. It just doesn't work that way.
