Conservative & Liberal Cities in Each State (places, difference, beach)

[AZLiam]

What are the conservative and liberal cities in the state you live in (if applicable) both fiscally and socially?

Are the differences apparent or not?

Lastly, do you find you have more fun in a conservative city, liberal city, or do you think it really doesn't matter?

[lndigo]

Conservative - Fort Worth
Liberal - Austin

In this particular case, yes.
Probably doesn't matter.

[Smallville]

Liberal - Bridgeport, CT
Conservative - (I'm not sure, we're a blue state lol)

Doesn't matter to me.

Conservative: Rochester
Liberal: pretty much every other city >50k pop.

Oregon!

Socially Liberal/Fiscally Liberal... Portland area, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland, Bend.

Socially Conservative/Fiscally Liberal... Medford, Albany, Salem.

Libertarian (Socially... whatever/fiscally conservative)... Grants Pass, Brookings.

Conservative/Conservative... Roseburg, Klamath Falls, Coos Bay.

Something like that. There is a marked difference in these places, but it's not always immediately apparent. You can have fun anywhere I think, if you try. I just have more fun in a liberal city, personally. But cities are overrated. It's the natural beauty that surrounds the city that's important to me. But that's just me.

I can really think of a city in NC that I would consider "conservative." Some are more moderate (including Charlotte), and the liberal ones would be Asheville, Chapel Hill, and Durham.

For SC, Columbia is a little more on the liberal side; I'd probably say that Charleston is also slightly center left. Greenville is more conservative.

The shorthand for Oregon is Portland = very liberal; everywhere else = very conservative.

There differences are defiantly noticeable but some of that has to do with climate/scenery differences between Northern and Southern Ca. I don't care too much for the conservative cities not so much b/c their conservative but b/c places like Fresno and Bakersfield are not in the nicest parts of CA. The others are just typical suburbs, Oceanside is cool b/c of the beach but too much military and gangs.
