From what I've heard (and to an extent seen), this is very true. IMO, the rural parts of the South and Deep South states are a POS, but the urban cities of the South, particularly Houston, Austin, Northern Virginia (excluding DC), and Charlotte are more progressive than the Northeastern cities, even to the point of being as progressive as Seattle, San Diego, and Denver.
Don't be so quick to dismiss the rural areas. Yes, a lot of them are indeed stuck in another time era, but some of them have quaint small-town downtown areas with nice architecture and lots of remnants of its history intact. Check out Madison, GA as an example.
South has the best food. there is absolutely no comparison.
Also, Louisiana does not have the option of building subways. Its physically impossible or we would have at least in N.O.
