Alabama state capital on the Alabama River — anchored by the Civil Rights Memorial Center, the Rosa Parks Museum, and the Equal Justice Initiative's National Memorial for Peace and Justice (the lynching memorial, opened 2018). Downtown Montgomery and Old Cloverdale anchor the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. The structural draws are Civil Rights heritage density (no city in the US has this concentration of movement-history sites), Hyundai Motor Manufacturing employment density, and genuinely-cheap pricing. Summer heat-and-humidity (July 33°C, 75%+ humidity) is the practical filter.
