I had a job offer in SF years ago. I turned the job down due to the city's risk of earthquakes, not the politics. after spending years working in NYC, politics that didn't match my own didn't matter in day to day interactions with coworkers or friends.
NY city is not as liberal as you would think voter wise. The leadership is mostly liberal, but the town itsself is fairly split compared to places like Berkeley.
I get it now. So the issue I take with this list is that it uses political donations and factors that in. While less than 1/2 of Scottsdale is registered republican, it’s where the money is in Maricopa County.
If you’ve ever been to Scottsdale, it’s hardly a conservative place. But knowing their methodology the list makes sense.
1) Berkeley, CA
2) San Francisco, CA
3) Oakland, CA
4) Arlington, VA
5) Pasadena, CA
6) Boulder, CO
7) Sunnyvale, CA
8) Durham, NC
9) Alexandria, VA
10) Bellevue, WA
I wanted to ask as general question: Hypothetically, without using politics, if you were given a job offer in one of the cities above? Could you put politics aside to relocate to San Francisco? Keeping in mind costs of living, quality of life, real estate values, demographics, etc.
What about one of the most conservative cities?
1) Lafayette, LA
2) Tyler, TX
3) The Woodlands, TX
4) Knoxville, TN
5) Frisco, TX
6) Carrollton, TX
7) Murfreesboro, TN
8) Chattanooga, TN
9) Scottsdale, AZ
10) Huntsville, AL
Where would you rather live politics aside?
For me using these two lists I'd pick
1) Scotsdale, AZ
2) Boulder, CO
3) The Woodlands, TX
I am not sure where yet, but I will be moving to east Texas. I'm thinking Whitehouse or Tyler.

as to where I prefer to live, I choose Paris. unfortunately, americans can't just walk into the country and live in France.

No list or poll or graph or research paper is ever going to be iron clad, it was just a curious set of lists and begged the question of if you'd live there. I would live in Scottsdale because it's beautiful, it has a low cost of living and is nearby to landmarks and parks that I would love to visit. I could see me relocating there, San Francisco, also on the list, I could not see me living there due to the extreme costs of living compared to wages, the threat of earthquakes, and the infrastructure fiasco. San Francisco is beautiful, the weather's nice, and it's a great place to visit (very costly place to visit) but I wouldn't want to live there.
When it's forced as a result of "social engineering" as opposed naturally occurring diversity that happens from the free will of free people..
