There are other areas that have had incidents of disrespect towards the military but I didn't swear off those areas. In those cases, one could easily say it was the action of a fringe group. In Berkeley's case, it was their city council and mayor, most of whom were reelected later that same year.
I understand your POV. Not sure what prompted this thread of yours though.
One thing about the Uber*******s in the Bayarea though is the amount of great restaurants that seem to congregate in thier sphere of influence. I make trip into the Belly of the Beast at least once a month to get some and get out so to speak.

Doesn't matter if you were planning to travel there and canceled or if you didn't have current plans to visit. Did you say, "I'll never visit" because of political reasons. For example, I'll never set foot in Berkeley California because of what the city (government leaders and the citizens who reelected them that same year) did towards the US Marines.
Nope. I'll boycott companies because of their environmental policies, but places? That would be silly.
Most of the nice places (in terms of weather, topography, things to do) in the U.S. are in Blue states or Blue areas (West Coast, Chicago, Northeast, Hawaii).
The only Red state /areas I can think of wanting to visit would be Alaska and the numerous national parks in the Rockies.
Visit? No
Live? I might.
Why would I want to live some where that I completely disagree with? I refuse to live in the Wyoming/ Lakawanna Valley area because of the absolute corruption. I still visit friends there on occasion.
I won't go to Mexico due to the police corruption. There have been a few cases of Americans getting tossed in jail just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Granted it is relatively rare, but that hardly matters if you are the victim rotting away in a Mexican prison. Mexican Jail Holding U.S. Marine Controlled By Notorious Drug Lords | Fox News Latino
There are plenty of other places to go for vacation; Mexico is off my list.
I try to avoid rural and especially east Texas and the SE US. With all of the overt bigotry in those places I don't feel safe there. I guess that is not truly political but there is a clear association of the right with that kind of thing.
I visit San Francisco for some good laughs from time to time.
