Like I’m not saying this to negate other people’s negative experiences here, but I for one am incredibly grateful to have grown up in my corner(s) of the South. Moving away for the past 10+ years has made me appreciate it more. Big, diverse city, one of many deeply left leaning areas in the region. Sick beaches. Multilingual area. Bomb food. Bomb music. Long progressive history that the community was very in touch with. It’s not perfect ofc but you can’t just lump the whole region together 1/2
