What does a progressive actually believe in? I would say "anything that is trendy, makes you feel good, live for the moment, forget the results". That is the history of the progressive movement. Look at Hillary's statement "What does it matter if four people got murdered...move on"....LBJ's failed Great Society programs....trillions wasted...move on....Obama's failed stimulus program...move on....make drugs illegal....despite the huge problem with drug abuse of legal drugs...move on....massive violence in video games, movies....who cares....move on....
What is so great about self-destruction through "feel good" ideas, programs that have failed, continue to fail but the answer is "move on"....
Houston is far far far from being conservative. It's more like the San Francisco of Texas (with guns). To begin with, we have an openly lesbian mayor. The city votes Democrat by a large margin. And it has a very vibrant cultural life. I find the live-and-let-live attitude here to be much more "real" and pervasive than other places I've lived, like Seattle. I've never had a problem here being openly gay, by, for instance, showing affection to my partner in public.
Now, Dallas is a whole other matter. It's very close to Oklahoma, and much more conservative than Houston. Which is why I avoid Dallas at all costs.
I call BS. Austin has the SF, on the 3rd coast locked up. Houston runs a close second.
Who says that anyone in a "conservative" city wants it to be like a liberal/progressive city. My, that is a terribly high-minded assumption of the liberal/progressives isn't it?

Some people just like to live in diverse, vibrant cities with a focus on research and education and the environment.
I can't think of any conservative cities. Compared to the countryside, all cities appear liberal. I haven't seen much difference between cities--NYC, San Diego, Charleston, Houston, Albuquerque, Chicago, Seattle....really not much difference.

Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Tulsa, Jacksonville, and I think Salt Lake City were all in counties that voted red. None of those places are anything close to being "cool."
There is also Orange County, CA which is by far as cool as it gets for a right-leaning urban area.
You got Houston, Dalla, and San Antonio from texas, they have populations over one million.
Many of the vocal politicians from there are conservatives.
If you look at the electoral map, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and El Paso are all blue. As with many of the red states, the large urban areas are often blue, with the rural areas in red.
