Maybe you should check out the Pacific Northwest, say Portland? Diversity is a bit lacking, but it is definitely laid back and liberal. Then again, I'm a crunchy gal from Northern California and I've made it just fine. But I LOVE NYC. Like the kind of love where I almost cry when I see the skyline when flying in from a trip or even just on a bus coming in from a shopping trip to Jersey.
