“Pshaw,” a Birmingham booster muttered. “Huntsville is half the city Birmingham is… except for population.”I’m not really mad at Huntsville. Haters gonna hate is all.

“In cities where government is fragmented, growth is slower, and social and economic problems are more concentrated,” the PARCA report said. “The negative effects of fragmentation weigh not only on the center city but also on the metropolitan area as a whole. The fortunes of the central city and its suburbs are interlocked.”
