Why are liberal areas so pricey on real estate usually compared to conservative (Alabama, crimes)

[Valhallian]

Liberals tend to live in urban areas, which have higher concentrations of people and are therefore more expensive. I think it's as simple as that.

Sweeping generalizations. I grew up in blue collar Michigan, thirty year career in liberal Boston and retired in the South. Love the people and life in all three regions.
Nothing more repulsive than an angry curmudgeon. You need to meet more people.

If you've ever been to Redding, you'd know why. It's filled with homeless, meth addicts, opioid addicts and other trashy people. There's no industry to speak of there, just low paying jobs. It's the West Virginia of California.

Homicide rate much higher in Compton. 35 murders in 2016. A rate of about 35 per 100K.

Hundreds of trailer parks in metropolitan cities. Many cleaner than most apartment complexes in those cities.

California is highly liberal and has the highest percentage of those over 25 without a high school diploma.

Sounds like those liberal ghettos with murder rates approaching 100 per 100K.

2017 data:
CA: 11.7 age-adjusted deaths per 100K
WV: 57.8 age-adjusted deaths per 100K

And it even points out WV in the narrative above the map:

WV is a ***thole. No one wants to live there... Conservative or Liberal.

But it also has the 14th highest rate of those 25 and over with a bachelor's degree. And the 14th highest rate of those 25 and over with an advanced degree. West Virginia is dead last in both of those categories.
