10 Things To Hate About Living In Alabama

[@rog5184]

Im from CA to Las Vegas and besides the tornados and black ice, Alabama seems awesome

[@jimmyboi4507]

Coming from Illinois,this description of Bama sounds like paradise. Three more years for my pension and me in the Fam are happily moving to Bama.

[@livinginauburnalabama922]

There’s a past client of mine from Illinois that plans to come here after retiring. Their kid goes to auburn currently and we helped them purchase a condo for their student.

[@kalebjordan966]

We are moving from Illinois too. It sucks here

[@donnasanford3970]

I live in Alabama it’s paradise where I live, on a beautiful Lake.

The worst parts about Alabama are better than the best parts of most states

[@lauramichael4958]

The worst part I hate living in Al. is tax payers have to pay their taxes by 04/15, but if you are owed a refund, well... good luck getting it by that date.

[@davidrainwater6954]

So why don’t you move back to Atlanta! Greyhound is ready when you are!

[@cortevisblakely2821]

I kinda agree with you but huntsville & Birmingham give you those big boxes and entertainment you’re speaking of. The south & western half of our state is where the lack mainly happens.

[@realitycheck723]

I agree with you about everything EXCEPT the traffic. We moved here two years ago from the Washington DC metro area and live outside Huntsville. The first thing we noticed was the total lack of traffic congestion. It’s a breeze driving here compared to up north. I often boast to family back north how NON existent the traffic is here. I LOVE that about Alabama ❤ I agree about missing IKEA. Thanks for your video. ❤

[@speedracer2336]

I was not born there, my Dad was in the army southeast Alabama. Loved it and may move back there when I retire. My fav cities are Gulf Shores and Huntsville. Great place to raise a family. Lot of real friendly people there!

[@Gunny_1775]

I’m trying to move to Alabama next year 2024 early like March/April

[@tommathews3964]

My “worst part” of living in Bama: it’s getting more popular (populous)! As far as amenities lacking, you must not ever come to Birmingham! Plenty of upscale shopping, live music (especially at Iron City and Avondale Brewing, as well as big acts at BJCC or Oak Mtn), and a culinary scene that ranks up there with MUCH bigger cities. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a restaurant that has a James Beard winner or at least nominee!

[@robinrudder857]

Sweet home alabama

[@zachratedrll1529]

Alabama and Mississippi is the same except Alabama have better college sports and You are closer to Nashville and Atlanta for professional sports. I move to the suburbs of Birmingham so I don't mind driving or flying to either. But since I'm more of a outdoors person Alabama is killing Mississippi with scenery and outdoors activities. I'm from Mississippi btw.

[@VF1Skullangel]

I'm looking at Huntsville for my next relocation, I dealt with Tornadoes in Colorado, I'm used to the heat living in Arizona right now. I'm a Jacksonville Jaguars fan so I'm not worried about sports, ill probably travel down to Jacksonville.

[@fayallen8076]

Roll tide

[@jeronwhite3113]

I’m down here on the Alabama gulfcoast (Mobile) it, rains a lot down here, even in the winter time it rains, and in summer time you have to plan yard work around the rain, but hey we have Mardi Gras, good seafood, carnival cruises (Alabama cruise terminal) we are on the water and very close to Alabama beaches and also Florida beaches.

[@manfromearth8526]

Did you mention the heat? I love Alabama winters but not the summers. I'd rather be in Maine in August

[@livinginauburnalabama922]

Yes! I talk about the ridiculous humidity and summers.

[@carlosjohnson852]

If you don't like living in Alabama then move. It is a open border state.

[@sinepari9160]

I'm from Louisiana.. cry me a river haha, now I'm in CO and don't tell me about cell service.... I have to keep a garmin inreach on me year round. Done with hurricanes though!! Never again.

[@jakehodges4602]

I’m from Oklahoma. Live in Alabama now. I think Oklahoma heat is way worse than southern heat

[@tracybice6984]

There are big concerts in Nashville and Huntsville all the time?

[@denisek292]

I’m an Alabamian; born and raised here. Please don’t think I’m hating on you, but I disagree with you on some of your talking points. You live in one of the most desired cities in Alabama. Real Estate is booming in Auburn. As far as stereotypes, yes, there are “white trash” here and there. However, my daughter attended Auburn from ’14 to ’18, and earned her civil engineering degree. The first time I moved my daughter into the dorms, I noticed the car tags; Vermont, New Hampshire, California, Oregon, and a plethora of Georgia tags. Why attend Auburn if you buy into tihe “stupid” redneck? Tornadoes have been prevalent since I was a child; 24/7 MSM sensationalizes, and don’t forget social media. The last hoje I buil had a “safe room” built. It;s a master closet, however, it’s not noticeable from the outside or inside of the home. What gives it away, is the heavy steel door only used in an emergency. For safety, I believe 6K was reasonable. Looks like a typical closet. . College football {SEC rocks} makes-up for lacking NFL. The NFL is dying because of their disrespect of our country, and their entitled attitude. As far as shopping, new stores are being built. Foley has an amazing outlet with outstanding stores and great prices. Here’s a sampling: Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, etc. What’s awesome is it’s only a afew miles from Gulf Shores. Concerts: Metallica along with Creed came to the BJCC in ’99….know that’s a way back. However, Gulf Shores has the “Hangout Festival,” that draws bug names, and up and coming artist. It’s broadcast on MTV. I agree the summers can be unbearable, especially after an afternoon rain; it literall feels like a sauna. People in Alabama can’t drive worth a crap, and have the belief that black ice doesn’t exist. The good news is Alabama aware of the issues with traffic. My daughter works at ALDOT. They stay busy.’’’ Please forgive my dissertation. I just want you to love Alabana! Great video’1

[@marchilton8855]

So basically if your old person you will fit right on in otherwise dont come

[@marchilton8855]

I was born and raised in Mobile Alabama people in Auburn think its paradise here kinda makes me laugh if only they knew how bad the schools were here

[@shawnbulger6894]

I stay in Opelika been here all my life and what's missing is something to do for your kid's..... It's nothing to do with them besides Surge

[@randysmith4081]

Well if you don't like Alabama, you can leave.

[@jacquelinesantiago5438]

According what you say, you should move to Georgia.

[@DianeRetton]

What about Gadsden?

[@robertphelan8512]

Interesting, I knew of a casino on I65 at Atmore, which is also WindCreek; as well as a gaming place, of sorts, south of Dothan on US 231. Grew up in both Decatur, and Metro Atlanta area, and traffic, by far, then was worse in Hotlanta! (Took I65 forever because of migratory studies on the Tennessee River, so the ducks didn't crash into the bridge!). Great overall, though...oh, in Arizona now...as for the "dry heat", tell that to my armpits!! :)

[@randylagle4280]

Dude move to Hoover

[@sidrick510]

If you hate Alabama , Get out and stay out!!!

[@jamesphelps4168]

There Base Ball teams that are good pro teams. Concets in Birmingham, Montgomery,. Pro Football. So. What?!

[@HK-Guy]

Sounds like you never go to Birmingham, everything you hate activity wise Birmingham has. Concerts, Stallion Football and Shopping. Just lock and load and come on up.

[@kyesims2426]

I live in Prattville, Alabama not too far from Montgomery. NEVER seen ice 😂

[@ceddavis]

Grew up in Mobile. There was ice 2x before I graduated from HS. Of course, that was before 1982…

[@user-ds8bi2fw9e]

The most important thing to Alabamians, is football ! More important than anything else. It's worshipped like a god. I can say that, because I live here. Federal money, usually goes to building a new football stadium, as opposed to education. Or, something more beneficial

[@donaldgrantham5236]

Leave--NOW

[@jefferyyounce5372]

The bottom line is this, Alabama is a 3rd world state and the legislature wants it that way.

[@larryboyett8242]

MOVE

[@TheOtteroo]

I have lived in Huntsville for 15 years now. Came from Michigan. I have really been enjoying the fact that since Mark Emmertt stepped down as CEO of the NCAA and University Of Alabama couldn’t operate with impunity anymore violating NCAA rules and Having unfair advantage no other team in college football had with the NCAA looking the other way for 12 years while Saban CHEATED his way to one National Championship after another, … all of a sudden Michigan won the National Championship. First of all, Alabama didn’t even belong in the playoffs with FSU sitting over there undefeated. Not being able to cheat anymore Saban retired, huh, ….weird. I guess It’s just not as much fun to have to compete fair and square. I think that Alabama Football, (as far as U of A goes), is going to recede back into mediocrity again. IF the NCAA ever investigates that Emmertt - Saban connection, those Alabama National titles between 2010 and 2023, should be stripped. So bottom line is, is Alabama football really “all that” without cheating? No. No it isn’t. And that National title count fans like to throw in everybody’s face? That could go away, because Alabama doesn’t really have that many. But besides football, my wife and I have really enjoyed having our Saturday shopping trips bouncing around all over town, practically all to ourselves. It sure has been quiet here lately….bless your hearts.

[@bobmiller5059]

Self implosion because of your hoods.

What are you even talking about 👀
