Would you rather live in Shelby County, Alabama or Detroit?

Is Metro Birmingham BRTD's latest obsession? Any particular reason. Gonna go out on a limb and presume he's never even visited...

No I've never been there.

Bacon King probably knows the reason.

You do realize I live less than a mile from a ghetto?

So brave...

You see the link I posted? That band is (obviously) from Detroit, and they look exactly like stereotypical Atlas posters. And yeah they have no problems living in Detroit.

These results are unreal. 

I'd much rather live a peaceful, affluent lifestyle surrounded by friendly Southern Evangelicals than have to deal with living in a highly impoverished area filled with crime, drugs, and and ghettoes. 

I get people here don't like suburbs, but I just can't fathom how someone would choose to live in Detroit over one of the richest suburbs in the country.

My neighborhood has a 34% poverty rate, has plenty of crime and drugs, and the biggest ghetto in south Minneapolis is right next door.

And yet I love it. It's still a very vibrant and fun place to live. Now that the weather's nice I really appreciate being able to walk to be able to go shopping and to all our lovely parks.
