I know Florida is more expensive than Mississippi since I used to also live in Florida too, so miss me with your typical condescending comments. Pensacola and Baldwin County are considered to be more desirable than Biloxi-Gulfport, so no surprise there. I did say that Gulfport/Biloxi should market itself as a retiree destination, but it’s a hard sell when it’s compared to neighboring areas in that region. It would be a cheaper alternative though. Mississippi generally has a lower cost of living than those areas, but you get got in other ways - ad valorem taxes to register your automobile for one. Just like how Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, but you’ll get hosed on Property Taxes.
And for such a religious area, Mississippi definitely feels cursed. I call it karma
I know you have a warped perception of what’s considered to be a “large” city and have a hard time understanding that an area about the size of metro Hattiesburg having about 145,000 people or so is not a large metro area. Nor is the Tupelo micropolitan area of 134,000 people. Being Top 10 in Mississippi is like an “A” student in a failing school, but hey, if that’s what you want to think.
Listen im speaking only among Mississippi cities and therefore for the state are "large". You may have a hard time understanding that with your warp sense of condensation.
Being "A" student is still successful.
