One of my good friends stays on Doak. It is not that bad. He works as a bartender at the Grand Hyatt downtown. The neighborhood is largely working class and young families. Gentrification has impacted his area a few blocks over on County Hospital Road. The area is near Briley Parkway (Bordeaux). The Mud Island picture looks a little bit like West Haven in Franklin and Lenox Village in Nolensville. Both nice areas.
I figured that streetview for the Nashville neighborhood would be outdated at this point given the rapid pace of development in the city, but it still serves to point out how ridiculous the assertion I responded to was.
Tentative Vermont answer: Burlington/Rutland. Progressive college town (of a "public Ivy"), home to Bernie Sanders and Phish, vs. a city with only 31% bachelor's degree holders and not even a community college within the county's boundaries. Major Rutland employers include GE Aircraft Engines and Killington Pico Ski Resort Partners, so pretty blue-collar.
In my opinion, Miami and Jacksonville are the most opposites of 2 big cities within one state. Population density. Demographics. Economics. Tourism. I could go on. They are wildly different for being 2 large cities in the same state.
As someone who lived in the Jacksonville area and visited Miami plenty of times, I can concur. JAX is more culturally Southern and has been labeled "Georgia South" and not the "real Florida". Meanwhile there's nothing Southern about Miami. They do feel like two different worlds despite being only 300 miles apart.

Agree with the sentiment, but 300 miles (more 340) is pretty far apart. It's further than Montgomery is to Nashville (or the longer San Antonio to Dallas).
It's crazy Nashville and Memphis used to be talked about in the same tiers 15-20 years ago. Now Nashville is on its way to Atlanta status. Massive corporate relocation magnet and is a big professional sport league magnet. Kind of crazy a metro of only 2 million has NFL, NHL, MLS, and is the #1 pick for MLB expansion next year. Literally the only major sport nashville is missing is NBA, and with how Memphis is declining, I wouldn't be surprised if they moved to Nashville, making Nashville have all 5 major sports.
Nashville's worst areas looks like Memphis' bests.
Kind of a wild take lol. If Nashville's worst areas look like this, sign me up.
I'd say Huntsville and any of the other three, especially Mobile or Montgomery.
I'd say Huntsville and Birmingham are of one thing, Mobile and Montgomery are of another.
