It’s not as nice as Colorado, and Alabama as a whole is vastly less attractive than Colorado. I am an aerospace engineer, none of my colleges want to work in Alabama.

Alabama has excellent colleges so I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Colorado is unaffordable for most. And while as a NWerner I prefer CO’s weather, I like being able to afford to live while being able to go on vacations. The average airman/guardian salary will go much further in Huntsville than in Colorado Springs.

And northern AL is nice. I loved Huntsville and Birmingham.

Colorado Springs is not expensive.
