Which liberal cities would you live in, and why?

Question

...in the U.S. This is addressed mostly to my fellow conservatives.

Typicaly "liberal" cities are known by names such as Seattle, Portland (OR), Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Chicago, Madison, Austin, Detroit, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Cambridge...I think you get the idea.

The only ones of the listed cities I'd choose are:
A. New York: the thriving heart of the western world. Any cultural offering in the way of arts, cuisine, and festivities you can find in NYC. It also has a (mostly) efficient and expansive subway system.
B. Austin: "Keep Austin Weird!" It's a very original city with beautiful parkland, even prettier women, a proud population, and it's very clean.
C. Seattle: it has its own architecture, vibe, and the beauty of Mount Rainier both offsets and complements the beauty of the manmade skyline. It's like LA, except it's more drizzly, less crime-ridden and dumpy, and has more natural beauty.

Answer 1

Most major cities are "liberal", all are great places to live in.

Answer 2

Santa Cruz by a mile....in spite of the fact that it's been loved to death it's still a great place...if you can afford it. Back in the Nixon administration, before it was discovered, you couldn't even find a house that cost more the $25,000. There were no more than 50,000 people in the entire county and the surf was awesome. There was a terriffic university, the Pacific Garden Mall and babes all over the place. I haven't lived there for a decade, but it still has a lot of charm. I give it two thumbs up!

Answer 3

I just don't think I could ever live in a city....I think 5 acres is way too small!!

But given the list, I'd start with Chicago - beautiful architecture and really nice people. Seattle would be 2nd - it's really considered a "neighbor" to Alaskans since it has the closest major airport. LOL And maybe Austin third - I'd hate the heat, but you gotta love a city with that slogan!

Answer 4

I'm from Washington and until last month was stationed in the Seattle area, so I'm a little biased, but I'd say Seattle.

When you get in to the city, the hippies tend to leave you alone, unless you go to Seattle Center wearing a leather jacket and one of them chastises you for wearing it...then it gets annoying.

Although, I did stump one of those freaks once. One got on me for eating meat because "It was alive once and had feelings". I responded with "Plants were alive once, and professional botanists say that if you talk to a plant, it will have a better time growing. That means that plants have feelings too. What do you eat, rocks?".

He left me alone after that.

Damn hippies!

Answer 5

I live in NYC and what you said above, are my sentiments exactly.

If I had to move, I'd probably pick L.A. although not to fond of the traffic.

Boston is a great town and would love to visit San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago.

Answer 6

I don't ever want to leave chicago,
but of the 3 I'd choose C- Seattle

Answer 7

I prefer my sleepy little farm town,population less than 2,000,its plenty big enough for anything I will ever need,everyone knows one another,wave to each other everyday,plus the scenery is awesome,,. would never live in or near any big city,liberal or conservative,I hate the hustle and bustle of traffic,lots of people,cell phones ,laptops,etc.people in big citys are just to un personal,they pass each other by never smile,lock themselves in their home at night,etc,how can you call that living?but I suppose if ya wanted to make me live in a big city it would be Portland or Seattle,as I like the North west.

edit;how do I get a thumbs down for a question based on my personal opinion?,just curious ,not sore.

Answer 8

1. San Francisco because it's in California... thats my main reason.

2. New York City because that would just be ******* awsome, if you never get a chance to travel around the world, at least try to make it to NYC.

3. Bosoton because of the Red Sox and intellectual population.

Answer 9

San Francisco - if you're gonna live in a liberal town thats it!
Plus I love the geography of the area

Answer 10

I would never live in San Francisco. All the others...possibly. But I still like the west and mid-west better. Lubbock, TX and Tucson, AZ.
