Is it still San Francisco? I'm talking MAJOR city, with a MSA of over a million people.
My uneducated guesses...
Portland
San Diego
San Jose
Seattle
Sacramento
They're not major cities, but are parts of the Bay Area like Berkley, Marin County still pretty hippieish? If not true hippies, then areas with lots of new agers, greeny types?
Location: I live in the Seattle neighborhood of Belltown. I live in a nice building called Mosler Lofts.

I have lived in San Francisco and now live in Seattle. Call me crazy but I would say that Seattle is just as hippie as San Francisco if not more hippie. Also, have any of you ever been to Vashon Island? Vashon is close to Seattle and is very nice but has lots of hippies. Seattle is about as far-left liberal as it gets. The only place that I can compare to Seattle as far as being super liberal and hippie is Portland, Oregon. The Pacific Northwest has more far-left nutjobs than anywhere.
Asheville, I second, is very very hippie. I would also imagine that some of the Vermont towns like Middlebury have a hippie vive (my grandfather refused to send my mom to Middlebury, even though that's the only school she wanted to go to, LoL).
Since you said metros over a million, then I would think Austin would be a very hippie-ish town in a Texas sort of way.
Too bad it has to be big cities, because for me, the "hippie capital" is Berkeley, CA.
I swear some of them have been planted on Telegraph Ave. since the 60s...
