Birmingham proper is pretty ghetto. They just have some very nice suburbs.


Surprisingly, there are some fantastic neighborhoods in the city, too. Forest Park, Altamont, Redmont Park, etc., are very wealthy enclaves within the city. Unfortunately, if you live there you have to send your kids to private school.

My wife grew up in Birmingham. They actually lived in Ensley in the 70s/early 80s, but their school started getting rough so my in laws white flighted out of the city.

Obviously, that area is terrible now.

You just described living in Memphis. If only there was a common denominator between the two cities we could come up with a solution.

I was watching local news recently and while reporting on a carjacking dude (black reporter) literally said I wish "they" could figure out what to do about the ongoing crime problem.

Who TF is they. Accountability much?
