🌞🏈🍗 Why is living in the Deep South (ATL, CLT, RDU, BNA, BHM, MEM) so much better than living anywhere else?

The south is great but "Deep South" would not include CLT or RDU In my opinion. NC native and have always considered the Deep South to start in SC or GA

I live in ATL, and besides all the things I love about the city, it's great to have so many places for weekend trips within driving distance! Savannah, Nashville, Asheville, Charleston... never difficult to just head away for a night. And each of those cities have their own culture and great restaurant scene which I love

I think @a2 has a point for some places, but not all (source: I am brown). Houston, NOLA, Dallas, ATL are more diverse and inclusive in my opinion. Racism happens everyday, but I'd rather live in a diverse place than a homogenous one.

I'm from the Deep South, born and raised. Left as soon as I finished college. Go back only to visit. It's hot, people are uneducated and prejudiced, and it's not scenic. Taxes are lower but you get what you pay for. Quality of life is much better elsewhere, especially in northeast or northwest.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
