When we retired, we could have gone anywhere but chose Northern Alabama.
Low taxes, little regulations, low cost of living, beautiful scenery, and friendly people.

You posted in the Birmingham, AL forum but I assume your question was for all the states. Alabama is a very nice place to live, whether you want city, suburban, or rural. The state has it all. Maybe a negative or two are the hot, humid summers in the state, but once you've lived here a while you learn how to handle it. There's an occasional danger of a hurricane, and even tornadoes, some of them very large and destructive. But both are fairly rare - certainly not a daily occurrence. Other than the things mentioned, Alabama is pretty much a live and let live state.

Northern Alabama is aerospace/defense, biotechnology, as well as vehicle assembly. North Central is medical and financial, mid-state is the state capital, and coastal Alabama manufactures airplanes and seafaring industries. So take your pick. There's one larger city (B'ham metro), three mid-size cities (Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery, and one/two fairly small but growing areas (Tuscaloosa and Auburn/Opelika area).

Thinking of Tommy Tuberville, it's ironic that Alabama's economy is dependent almost entirely on the federal government. Huntsville (NASA, military); Birmingham (medical research); Montgomery (government); Mobile (military); Tuscaloosa and Auburn (education). Yet Alabama politicians are continuously demonizing their government master.

I only mention it on this post because my sense is that if one could take away Alabama's politicians, the state's reputation would probably skyrocket given all the nice features about the state other than its politicians.
