Funny, because the nice parts of the south are comparable to the middle tier areas of the midwest. Yeah there’s a nice estate every county or so in the south but aside from some parts of VA there are almost no rich towns in the south.
Go look at Williamson County’s annual income and some of the houses in the city of Brentwood and then say “there’s no rich cities in the south”…and that’s just one example. There’s a reason we say “southern by God’s grace”.
Ever been to Brentwood or the North side of Franklin, TN? Basically, Williamson county has WAY more money than your Tornado-prone dust bowl of a town ever will. Dorothy hopped into that tornado to escape that miserable place.
Buckhead outside of Atlanta? Winter Park, Florida, and Ponte Vedra, Florida (yes I know they’re in Florida but they are some of the few frat cities there)? Hilton Head, South Carolina?
Almost all of those rich counties in VA are right up north near DC. Most of the money in those areas is DOD or government related. While VA is definitely South, the money in those counties largely isn’t.
My dust bowl tornado ridden town? Look up Hinsdale, Illinois.
I am currently in the south, I’ve stopped in Lexington, Louisville, Knoxville, Columbia and Charleston. I have yet to see what I would consider to be a nice area, by my standards, not the south’s.
Read through some more of the comments. Williamson County, Family income of 88 thousand, was I supposed to be impressed? Still way behind my county who by the way has 10x as many people.
Wow, you guys can name one rich suburb per major city. I wish I lived in the bastion of the wealth that is the deep south. I bet there is more wealth in the Illinois North Shore or the western suburbs of Chicago than there is in the whole south.
Lastly, I currently am in Hilton Head SC, (for like 13 more hours sadly), while this area of the country is undoubtedly stunningly beautiful, way more than the midwest I’ll give you that. The part of Hilton Head where people actually live year round is little more than a trailer park, so who ever listed that is an idiot.
We have better sports, better women, and better attitudes and etiquette. Sports? You don’t go to the north to play golf. And have you heard of the SEC? I’m sure plenty of brothers on this site will acclimate you to it. Women…we have southern belles, need I say more? It’s a better culture; in the north you don’t see a man hold the door for a women. You don’t see people being cordial to one another regardless of whether they know them or not. I’m not some ineloquent redneck who believes the south will rise again, because I already know it’s a better place to be. Knoxville is a busy college town, not a place where you’ll find southern property value.
Clearly Six_Thirty isn’t going to give up. But it doesn’t really matter. We Southerners know what’s true and while he masturbates to the thought of Oprah and snow up there in Illinois, we can just remember that while they may have some big houses, they’ll never have class like we boys below the Mason-Dixon have.
Stop by Charlotte NC next time youre south of the mason Dixon, fastest growing banking city in the nation while the north bleeds jobs and that shithole NYC collapses.
back woods and Six_Thirty I’m with you guys, and I live in the north shore of Chicago, and I think the median home price (NOTE: median does not mean its a disproportional average) is around 900K. I mean obviously there is money all over the place, if we did North vs South the result would be similar to what you guys call the War of Northern Aggression.
30327 is the eighth richest zip code in America. Highest in the southeast by a long shot. Illinois is the only mid western state ranked higher. Fuck you.
six-thirty or whatever the fuck you are my district is the 3rd wealthiest district in the U.S……the point is shut up and get back to taking it in the ass at Mid-Western Inbred State
I respect the south but would respect it more if all of you guys pulled your heads out of your asses. The majority of us share the same values and Mr_Fraturday_Night, you make some good points but also fail to know what you are talking about.
greatlakes, I hope your pointing out that 9 of the top 10 of those cities are in the north or in california and not that #1 is in VA. I trust your name has some relevance.
I think the argument of most wealthy cities and biggest homes is on two completely different areas. In the south we have beautiful old plantation homes and then good suburbs of most cities with very nice newer homes while the north has huge extravegant new age modern houses. I realize this will be rebutted by northern supporters with old colonial New England homes but just to remind you your main argument is geared toward how nice North Shore in Chicago and whatever the hell is in Illinois other than that thats nice.
Arguing over who has more money is one of the most classless arguments people can have. Money doesn’t mean shit if you don’t have character, class and integrity, which it seems many people here are missing.
Im from Virginia and I know how rich most of our counties are. But for the sake of arguing, take a look at Kiawah Island, SC where my family vacations. Private, gated Island community with 5 private golf courses on it. Home to the 1991 Ryder Cup.
Kiawah Island is by far the greatest place I have ever been. My grandparents used to live there, unfortunately they moved, but still such an amazing place.
Very true, if the north runs this country and this country is trillions of dollars in debt, thank you former Illinois Senator Obama, then wouldn’t that mean that the north is full of idiots who don’t know how to run things.
This is how I picture the entire midwest.
