O_o

Alabama's got a sweet position; its four metros have pretty distinctly different economies that historically complement each other pretty well. On top of that, the next four areas (Saying Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Dothan and the Shoals) just add to that diversity. You've got to get to Anniston and Gadsden before things historically repeat, but they've got avenues they can go to distinguish themselves, too (Though Anniston's doing better on that front). Alabama could be one of the most decentralized yet synchronously productive states of it wanted to be. Product-moving-wise, all the four main metros are can reach each other pretty easily via port and rail, on top of road and plane (wish it were true for passenger rail, but a commuter rail system throughout the state is a pipe dream). Not many states can say that.

This is absolutly one of the best ways to grow the city's population! People have been wanting to live in the city, but up until now, there was simply no new single family housing stock. Rental units have been popping up all over the downtown area, and that's cool, but I'm glad to see this major focus on single family housing throughout the city. Mayor Woodfin has really been pushing this!

I posted this last month. There is a lot more. Kinda went under the radar.

https://www.bizjournals.com/birmingh...ross-city.html

Developers have been busy constructing new homes across the city of Birmingham with several subdivisions presently in the works.

According to data from the Birmingham City Department of Planning, Engineering and Permits, a total of 135 permits were pulled for single-family and two-family residential buildings since the beginning of 2022.

Several of the units in the overall count also include in-fill housing in neighborhoods like Crestline, Crestwood North, Five Points South, Oak Ridge, South East Lake, Wahouma and Woodlawn.

Developers pulling multiple single-family permits include Tower Homes, BCR Development, WJHAL and Capstone Communities.

According to the data, some of the highest single-family residential activity currently occurring in Birmingham is happening in the Oxmoor neighborhood. There are two subdivisions currently underway in that area slated to develop a total of 144 homes for sale.

Oxmoor Grove, located at 111 Grove Drive, is a single-family residential community that’s expected to yield 44 homes. The Grand of Oxmoor located on Sydney Drive is expected to feature 102 homes, which are currently under development. Tower Homes is the developer behind both subdivisions and is a developer with some of the most permits pulled within Birmingham.

In addition to this area, high activity is also occurring in Belview Heights, Smithfield Estates and Overton. Two other major subdivisions underway include the Oak Hill Subdivision in Belview Heights, for which permits were pulled by BCR Development to build 33 homes, and Westchester Estates located in Smithfield Estates, for which permits were pulled by WJHAL Development to build 42 homes.

Permits for rental subdivisions have also been pulled since the start of the year including for 34 single-family units and 137 two-family units at The Cottages at Greystone. The subdivision is being developed by Capstone Communities

Sorta. I wouldn't call Oxmoor, nor Highway 119 what you typically think of "in the city" even if it's technically true. Target and Walmart on 280 aren't shining examples of moving out of the suburbs. Avondale and Woodlawn are the two closest to where people are thinking, with Lakeshore and Druid Hills being understandable as newer hotspots.

I'm honestly most excited to see stuff happening for Pratt City, Belview Heights and Smithfield Estates. It means they're being a bit more assertive in trying to push growth in more parts of town.

For this reason I tend to prefer the Birmingham's, Memphis's and Atlanta's of the world as opposed to the Huntsville's, Nashville's and Raleigh's.
I understand your sentiment, but I don't see Raleigh as being in the same mold. However, places like Madison, WI and NW Arkansas (Fayetteville/Rogers/Springdale) would constitute better examples IMO.
