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 don't understand the point of this thread. Politics is very low on my list of priorities when it comes to relocation. Cost of living, weather, good economy and quality education are much more important. I can rule out California and the Deep South based on those factors. The rest are fine; I don't relocate somewhere to surround myself with like-minded people.
Your willingness or ability to move anywhere, depends mostly on your income. If you're rich you can live almost anywhere, although some places certainly have better weather and scenery than others.
If you're poor, most of the country sucks. Although it is certainly better to be poor in a small town in West Virginia than in Southside Chicago(especially if you're white).
A lot of conservatives would and do move to liberal cities, if the amount of money they would make from taking a job there significantly exceeds the cost-of-living. Many suburban areas of liberal cities are incredibly-conservative, but almost every city votes democrat, even in the "reddest" states.
State capitals and college-towns also tend to be very liberal regardless of the state.
Immigration is needed if a country can't keep its population growth at replacement levels to maintain a given economic output. Whether you like it or not,, the US fertility rate isn't at replacement levels, so personally, I want immigrants coming in and becoming new taxpayers, esp with the trillions in debt trump just added to the national credit card
The problem with uncontrolled immigration is that if they can't contribute to the economy, they become a burden. Just look at Germany. The random rape gangs comprised of "refugees" are sickening.
Diversity also leads to internal conflicts up to and including civil wars. People across the globe are killing other people thanks to diversity.
Shhhhh. Your logic doesn't fit the narrative. Diversity ACTUALLY means less whites. That is its true meaning today. The original meaning makes liberals stick their fingers in their ears and scream.
Because the more diversity there is in a place, especially of thoughts and life experiences...
The less any one broad kind of thinking-experience can squash other kinds of different ways of thinking and invalidate any other kinds of life experiences.
That less inhibited to express your actual beliefs and less likely to internalize the mainstream cultural narrative that "if you express or even have 'this' kind of idea you have, you're stupid or have a mental disorder",
The less inhibited and/or shamed different people are to think for themselves
The more they do think for themselves
The more independent thinking they get
The more creative they become
The more ideas they come up with
Which can translate into new findings about science, new ideas about technology, new products, new goods and services, and so forth.
There is a lot of research that shows that diversity is a positive.
