Alabama is pretty bad
Parts of the state are beautiful but the quality of life is pretty comparable to LA. Like I said a few posts up, my wife is from Hoover and most of her family lives in the Birmingham area. I'm there 5-6 times per year for the past 15 years. There are more well developed suburbs than BR but most of the city is run down and dangerous.
Her parents retired to Huntsville about 7 years ago which is a nice city.

I'm not trying to make LA a top 5 in education. But you would have to agree that having those lower students included would lower your score compared to many of the states where their lowest students aren't tested.

I did ammo school up in Huntsville. It’s a very nice and underrated town. I’m not sure what their culcha’rul demographics are but it seems nice.

Yeah, but it gets 120 degrees in the summer
What's worse...high temps in the summer...or having to deal with crazy floods and hurricanes? Which destroys homes and lives and sends insurance premiums soaring.
It may get hot where I live...but I never have to worry about any natural disasters destroying my home. I'll take that trade off anyday

I live on high ground. That stuff doesn't bother me, so...f&%k melting garbage cans, brush fires, and sand storms.

brush fires
Stuff like that doesn't happen in PHX metro area but up in northern AZ where there are actual forests to burn. Again...been here 12 years and brush fires have never been a problem in PHX metro.

sand storms
Those look scarier than they really are. Basically it just makes driving difficult when one is going on and stirs up a bunch of wind and dust. Might knock over a couple trees, mess up people's pools and yards but that is the extent of it really. I actually was outside in the middle of one of those haboobs in a Home Depot parking lot. Just was really dusty. Had to drive very slowly on my way home on surface streets cause I could only see a few feet in front of me. Also...they don't last long.
No hurricanes here. No tornadoes. No earthquakes. No floods. No wildfires.
Again.... I don't have to worry of any major natural disasters here that could destroy my home.
But keep thinking that living in the desert is horrible because of the super high temps. That must be why most everyone I personally know out here...is actually from other states and chose to move to AZ for whatever reason (escape extreme cold climates, jobs, whatever).

My only question in this thread is which Lafayette Baw raw dogged the hell out of LucasP’s woman to hold so much animosity for the area? Dude had to get a 400 mile safe space and still can’t let it go.

Someone has to build the houses. I don't see people in the 9th ward or NBR lining up for jobs.

I should have guessed that this would turn into a “nurse trying to brag about Arizona” thread.

No shite.

Yea anyone who thinks this is the case is delusional. A $500k house in New Orleans is around 2000 square feet. In Houston I would have a mansion.

You can't take Lucas' post seriously

Whatever Abita. I only speak of AZ...cause I live there.
Point is....there are tons of places that have a decent cost of living that have a better quality of life than Louisiana.
Better?
ETA: I don't think AZ is the best state ever. It just meets my basic needs. There are other states that I would gladly move to if I could afford it.

You're comparing New Orleans to Houston suburbs. Check the real estate market inside the loop

And you'll likely want to factor in private school tuition in the city too

You’re full of shite then because I can link you plenty of places I can get a 3500 sqft house with property out in O’Fallon, St Peters or Chesterfield
