Being from Birmingham I really have seen a lot of growth I know they say numbers don't lie but the reason Birmingham is is losing is because a lot of them are moving to the suburbs of Birmingham is one of the few cities in the United States that has sixty-seven surrounding small towns and within those small towns or neighborhoods the majority of people live there not so much in the city anymore the metro area consist of over a million people not including the numbers of who lives with in the city still making it the biggest metro area in the state. We will never really loose that title because it's just so much more going on in Birmingham now and so much being built like more entertainment and eating spots sports bar and grilles stuff like that

I noticed that whenever you mention a city's population decline, you just give the population within the city proper without including the entire metro area population. For example, Birmingham city has declined in population, but the entire metro area has actually been slowly rising year to year. ( 1,115,289 as of 2022) That trend is true for many cities as working class families choose to live in the outer burbs instead of inside the main city limits. So I feel that it can be a little misleading to give population numbers based solely on within the city proper.

The entire metro area is stagnant, because the City of Birmingham is stagnant. When the core city declines, that is not a good thing. Even while people move to the suburbs as a result. It may look like growth, but it isn't. It's simply a population shifting and they're building up new suburban areas as a result. Basically, replacing what they left behind in the inner city. Migration from other places outside of the Birmingham Metro area is what really grows and keeps cities vibrant. Like what Atlanta has managed to do over the last 50 years.

I am a 46 year old life long suburban Atlantan and these days the quality of life is much greater in Birmingham's southern suburbs than Atlanta's northern suburbs. Atlanta is too congested. There is too much demographic transition because of rapid growth. Birmingham seems still completely southern and in a sophisticated manner. I'm speaking of those Southside suburbs, here, like Vestavia, Homewood, Hoover, and Mountain Brook. The Atlanta area is a patchwork quilt these days with southern areas still highly noticeable on the west, and south, and northwest parts of the metro, but it also has northern transplant dominated areas, heavy up the 400 corridor Then there are the immigrant dominated areas (Norcross, Chamblee) The lushness of the Birmingham area along with the greater elevation variation (even though the Atlanta area is at a higher elevation, it looks less so because Atlanta is in the Piedmont and Birmingham is the southern end of the Ridge and Valley) makes it very unique. If I ever had to leave the Atlanta area, I'd move to a place like Hoover or Vestavia Hills without questioning it.

There is a big contrast between much of the area north of Red Mountain (Southside neighborhood is relatively nice and is an exception, as are Trussville and a few other areas on that side of town). The way a friend explained the area is that Birmingham's Southside is comparable to Atlantas Northside, in terms of being the nicest sides of town. Whereas Atlantas Southside is more comparable to Birmingham's northside.

It is so nice to get these small insights in Americas history.

Throughout the years Birmingham was being considered as a possible relocation candidate for NFL teams. It had an XFL team (2001) and multiple USFL teams (I have an opinion about the current USFL...)

One of my favorite metro areas to visit. An epic terrain and downtown looks fabulous from afar at any time of day. Everyone owes it to themselves to put this gorgeous region on the bucket list and do some hiking at Oak Mountain State Park. It’s also centrally located without the usual downside of overwhelming traffic congestion’s that tends to come with that feature; direct connections to Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Tupelo, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, and Chattanooga (Cloudland Canyon near I-59 must be seen to be believed), and Huntsville is just a very mild detour as well. Always a pleasure to visit Birmingham.

In general, cities are measured by their "metropolitan statistical areas." Huntsville's MSA is about 490,000, while Birmingham's is over 1.1 million. Birmingham has a fairly small footprint, but there are many well populated cities spread all around the city. If anyone looked at downtown Huntsville, or the lack of much of one, it would be clear that it isn't the largest city in the state. It's a beautiful city, don't get me wrong.

In doing so the hamstrung their own economy and they got walloped when US manufacturing started going overseas just like the Rust Belt. Atlanta too saw a steep decline in manufacturing, but their White and Black middle and upper class came to an agreement that they weren’t going to fight the inevitable and welcome Black leadership into government and business. This upset the lower class whites and they were the ones that left the city opening the door for middle class Blacks to move down in droves from the Northeast and Midwest.

I lived in this city in 2002. It was GREAT back then. However, shady stuff and shady folks will keep me from going back. The Jewish community center in Mountain Brook is awful to their kitchen employees (non Jewish/primarily black). I worked with two women who'd used to work there (Virginia and Phyllis) at a downtown grocery store called V. Richard's. One of the ladies even told me that an old Jewish woman spit on her food that they'd served her once -- then said that she proceeded to tell them that she really wanted to spit in their face!! Also, a girl named Hannah Rose (last name withheld) that lived in an apartment complex where I live now (Florence, Alabama) told me that her sister was raped by the guy that owns (or owned) an airport shuttle transport company called Rosen Transportation when she was 9. Despite whatever the court said, I'm sure that's on legal record. It's horrible as hell, but it doesn't surprise me, really. I guess the truth of the matter is (joking aside, actually) that Rosen would rather molest/rape a girl like that (unrelated to him) rather than his own daughter, if he has one, that's pretty much gonna wind up in a loveless, sexless marriage for her own, other reasons.
