Your comment here and in this thread confuses me. Just because one posts does not mean a response or more will appear in the time frame you wish. No one has to respond to a post, especially as others have pointed out - - so many specifics were asked you ruled almost all out people.

What's really odd is I know about AL and D.C. for this subject; however, I'm not in NID so I won't respond to compare and contrast. An NIH Fellowship after three degrees at UA - Birmingham were part of the credentials my former colleague obtained. I'm quite familar with Mountain. Brook and Vestavia but Dothan, not so much.

Good luck finding your information. It's probably only me, but something about your posts have a very academic feel to them. I'm not sure you have clearly stated your one goal with your posts. Are you answering questions because you intend to relocate or answer an academic answer?

I'll bow out now but wanted to add that feedback. We hope people will answer our questions, but the truth is there is no guarantee.

Good luck in your pursuits.

I'm just very curious - more of academic answer.

Country folk are usually nice to you if your nice to them. I lived in DC a few years ago and moved back to Idaho. It's better here by far....

If you are deaf person that fluent in ASL or deafblind that fluent in tactile signing (ASL) so DC is best metro, but Seattle is #1 for deafblind.

I'm very friendly guy due grew up in southern state, anyway.

In fact, some of those cold, unfriendly people in DC come from friendly rural towns of the South.

They've gone there to dictate us how to live, conduct ourselves, how to feed and raise our kids, and where to take a ****, etc. etc. You do that if you think we are morons, and "you" know better. Regardless that most of them are the least virtuous people amongst us.

Now you want to leave that crowd behind and move in with "the subjects."

I think this the correct framework of your move.

Overall, I don't understand your statement.

As tagging about "unfriendly" in DC metro, I found people in DC metro are mixed - friendly and unfriendly and I notice there are more Midwesterners in DC metro. I'm just questioning about big city in Idaho, also Alabama has big cities as well, so I have no interest to live in rural - I'm more of city/suburb guy.

I've traveled extensively over the western United States, albeit I've only ever lived in Texas. I haven't noticed a dramatic difference between the friendliness of one area to another. In my experience it's largely based on your neighborhood and socio-economic class, as well as the general atmosphere of the individual city. If a city is economically depressed and losing population the people might be in bad spirits compared to the next city over which is doing better. Very generally speaking, Northwesterners tend to be more reserved than Southerners. I wouldn't necessarily say they are less friendly, merely calmer.

In bold, I noticed that after met Northwesterners so I agree about some of them are reserved and many of them that I met are from Washington and Oregon.
