What do you think are the most LIBERAL cities in the U.S?
Like European-type liberalness.
What do you mean "European-type libarleness"? Social liberalness? Governmental liberalness? Really none of the cities in the US have European-type liberal governments, where they have universal healthcare and extremely high tax rates. Most Northern cities (Boston, NYC, Philly, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis) though have bigger governments, higher taxes, more government funded social infrastructure. In terms of social liberalness (which, by the way, many European cities, while liberal in some respects, are not all that accepting of minorities), it would of course be the coastal cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and to some extent Chicago and Minneapolis.

Well the thread said cities, not a pre-requisite requirement for major cities. But yeah I'd say Berkeley, Boulder, and Burlington all have similar DNA and are in a liberal league of their own.
There are sites to find out which cities are the most liberal, and which are most conservative. One can say it's definitely "this one," but facts may prove them wrong. I know Milwaukee isn't currently the most liberal city, but it may be the only one that has had three socialist mayors. I believe Detroit is the most liberal city, currently, but maybe I'll do some research to find out, for certain.
