This is based on recent voting records:

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

Look at how much money those liberal cities generate. Full of highly educated people. So much diversity and opportunity there as well.

I would argue that all 20 cities above generate billions in commerce, have highly educated people, and diversity.

I'll pick one from each list: Durham or Knoxville. I can't afford to live in any of the first list and have no interest in living in Texas or the deep South.

What makes diversity a good thing?

I took jobs in both Arlington and Aexandria VA before.

Too expensive for me there.

Knoxville is beautiful in the fall. My best friend from high school lives there and it's always a treat to head up to the mountains. It's like a breath of fresh air. Good pick!

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.

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