Fairhope and Huntsville are the only places I'd live in Alabama but I don't think I could stomach being surrounded by gumps and plains men
The issue with republican states isn't the nice places to live it's the cities like Jackson, New Orleans, Memphis, ect. Doesn't take long to notice

That's why all the white suburbs of those cities or parts of the county are trying to secede
St. George in Baton Rouge, Buckhead and some other smaller areas around Atlanta

Even on a piecemeal scale in reverse, there's the Memphis city school system suicide saga years ago. They spent years trying to merge with the county schools, with the county overwhelmingly voting against it. Finally Memphis City schools basically declared itself defunct and inoperable - which automatically absorbed it into the county. All the suburbs immediately created their own individual city school systems. Same song and dance proceeded - this is racist, this will make your system worse (citizens were still paying county taxes though), all that shit.
