What cities do you think meet the above profile? What cities are the most lax when it comes to social issues however still keep a good fiscal profile and dont over tax their residents?

Most of Southern California outside of Los Angeles. Orange County and San Diego are known for their traditional Republicanism yet are very liberal places concerning acceptance of gays. However California as a whole is a fiscally liberal state so you are going to have to deal with it's tax policies.

I would probably go with Austin or Dallas. I know Texas has socially conservative laws, but their populations (i.e. voters) make up a much smaller percentage of the state's overall population than Phoenix does. Both those Texan cities seem to me to be more progressive overall.

How does SB1070 and banning Anti-American studies teaching that the white man is enslaving the brown man a bad thing. Ohh sorry we can't protect our borders. BTW I am hispanic, grew up in Mexico, and can here Legally! I am so sick of the lies that SB1070 is racist and the banning of ethnic studies. These are not ethnic studies. These are racist courses brainwashing the young Latinos in Tucson.

I agree that Phoenix would probably not be a good choice for socially liberal though being next to California I think Arizona will continue to lean liberal like Nevada has.
I suppose Atlanta or Houston would be the closest ones to that.
