Conservative Areas (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Long Beach: houses, live in, shops)

[tmoney222]

Are there any conservative republican areas in Los Angeles? If so, where at?

Generally speaking, besides Orange County, the further away from the coast you go, the more conservative people tend to be.

South Bay (PV, etc.) and East Long Beach have a conservative slant.

People here in LA are not really concerned with "conservative areas" or "liberal areas" as life is too short and there are many other things to be concerned about. I consider myself a "conservative Republican" and live in Woodland Hills and Sherman Oaks. I am very very happy. There are a many conservatives here in Los Angeles but due to the geographical makeup of the city, pretty much everything is spread out.

Is there anything "specific" you are looking for or NOT looking for? Maybe we can help you find it if you would be more specific.

I've only spent a few minutes with this tool. It has some political overlays. Monkey around with the TRF Analytics tab...might shed light on your inquiry:

PolicyMap. Good Data. Smart Decisions.

Glendora is about the most conservative, Leave-it-to-Beaver city I've ever lived in. Really good place to raise kids, too.

The city of Los Angeles is heavily Democratic w/ only one Republican on the 15-seat city council & one Green w/ the rest Democratic. The county of Los Angeles has some leaning Republican areas but overall the county is also reliably Democratic.

I've noticed that this area is very Democratic, but overall doesn't seem to be as liberal as what you would find in San Francisco, Seattle, etc. Anyone agree/disagree?

These questions have come up in other places, most strikingly comparing Colorado Springs (very heavy conservative reputation) and Boulder (reputably liberal) and the thing I've noticed is what I haven't noticed; and that is, I can't really tell the difference.

What the heck would a "liberal" place be like anyway? Would it look different? How would the people be different? I can't seem to tell.

There are so many other things that seem to differentiate places that really are noticeable: demographics, housing, density, culture, ethnicities, weather, crime, landscape, etc.

Orange County is supposedly conservative, but does it look different because of that or because of other things? Sure there are more head shops in venice and evangelical nuthouses in OC, but otherwise I wonder if the differences are driven by other factors.

I have heard of La Mirada and San Marino described as predominantly Republican, for whatever that's worth. One is about 5x as expensive as the other, so you have a selection.
