Austin has improved?

Let's throw in Charleston and Asheville and this is a decent list

Austin was better in the 80's 90's

I would think that many would be greatly improved since the early 90s. Little Rock was a complete shite hole back then.

Agreed. Little Rock could have become Jackson, but forward thinking saved it. During the 90s, the city of Jackson didn't invest in urban revitalization or infrastructure improvements until the city's tax base had abandoned it. Those residents left by the thousands in the 90s and 2000s.

Now, they are investing in a city of virtual ruins, in which the infrastructure is in major disrepair, and no one lives where they once did. A water line is bursting somewhere in the city, literally every other day, spewing thousands, to hundreds of thousands of gallons of water all over the place. Some roads have holes big enough to hide one or two people entirely from view.

Pretty sad, since Jackson was once a great southern city a long time ago.

NOLA is no question better than it was 10-20 years ago. Same with Nashville, Birmingham, etc.

The only Southern cities that have declined are Jackson, maybe Baton Rouge, and border cities in TX.
