If you like New York and Minneapolis, but want Ohio, which city would you choose? (Columbus: implants, east coast)

And now that you mention it, Detroit is a pretty liberal city. If you dont believe that obviously you dont know much about it, and have probably never been there. My whole thing is, that if you dont know about something, dont talk about it. You are using the same pathetic tactics that the rest of them use now, you get proved wrong and you wont admit it, and I didnt even bash Cincinnati and then you go and bash Cleveland for no reason at all and lie about it. NE Ohio still has over 4.5 million people, and the city of Cleveland is still ahead of Cincinnati by over 110,000, but thats besides the point. I still stand that I proved my point, until you can prove that I didnt, Im right. You guys have to admit when your wrong, because its just starting to look sad.

You didn't prove anything.

A city's political standings do not have anything to do with it's cultural liberalism or conservativeness. If it did, there would be no Republicans that are gay.

Of course I've been to Detroit, it's only 3.5 hours away. IT IS NOT the most liberal city in the United States. That's a joke. NYC, Vegas, and Boston are all ahead of it in terms of its social liberal status.

Of course you do the obvious thing that all posters on city-data and virtually everywhere else do when they get completely proved wrong, you complain and try to argue about how the "stats are wrong" or "this doesnt mean that". Like I said, Democratic doesnt automatically=liberal, but its pretty accurate.

detroit is very liberal, but what's being lost in this is the examination of the impact of being in a liberal or conservative metro, because almost every major city is liberal, including cincinnati. liberals and conservatives spend the money differently to get to the same finish line, but when the system is corrupt, it doesn't matter who you have. cleveland and detroit are liberal in their political money-spending ideologies, but aren't doing any better than the good ol' boys in cincinnati. they're just different good ol' boys.

If you move to Cincinnati and wait a few years, it will probably be like Minneapolis. The Brent Spence Bridge will fall into the Ohio River before the politicians get around to replacing it...

Cincy-rise, I think OH DoT is spending it all in Montgomery Co; I-75 in downtown Dayton is getting a major rework as well as the I-70/I-75 junction. I bet you can't wait for them to get started on the I-75 renovation around Hopple Street either...

If you like probaly two places as widely different as NYC and Mpls, you're flexible enough to live about anywhere. IMHO splitting the difference would be MKE or Cleveland.

Back to the original poster. I lived in Uptown Mpls for years and I think I know what you may be looking for and it isn't in Cincinnati.

I work in Over-the-Rhine in Cinci which is trying hard to be a funky arty fun place. It really has come a long way in the past few years and has some of that, but it is no Minneapolis. The feel of Cincinnati is way different and not to restart the previous argument, but it does not feel liberal at all to me.

If I am right about the feel you are looking for, I think Columbus is closer. But I have heard Cleveland and Athens are even more like that, although I have never been to either.

But I would say that I would move back to Mpls in a heart beat if I could.

If it helps you any, NYC has the largest number of implants in Cleveland. It's more of an east coast vibe. In concerns with Minneapolis, Cinci and Columbus are more similar.
