Political Diversity In The Triangle (fit in, neighborhoods, buyers)

[In & Out]

As most of us look for ethnic diversity in towns & neighborhoods we want to move to in the Triangle, why is it that so may buyers look for non diversity in political views when deciding on where to move in the Triangle. Here in the Triangle area, we welcome ethnic diversity, as it brings to us many things we may not experience if we stayed in like kind areas. Why wouldn't the same thing hold true in political philosophy? There is no way that the liberal or conservative philosophy is always correct. Wouldn't we benefit more by mixing political views in our towns, just like we do when we mix ethnicities?

Well, if you really believe what you say you believe, it impacts how you act.

So lets say some questionable store/business is moving to town, and you're opposed to it for moral reasons.

You'd hope those around you would share the same views, so the offensive business couldn't operate near you, not necessarily due to the government (as the less government, the better), but rather, due to your community "voting with their pocket book" and making it so said questionable business couldn't turn a profit in your town, and would move away/close.

Also, racial diversity is another matter, as your skin colors doesn't dictate your politics, nor your character.

I find it funny. for the most part, I hear this from liberals, but it's funny when I do. liberals want everyone to think like they do, and if you have other views, you are called narrow minded. "conservatives" or what pass for conservatives these days, like to talk about getting government out of our lives, but writing a constitutional amendment defining marriage. they are both jokes to me. I personally like to have both around. if I agreed with everyone, I would have no one to yell at.

I prefer to have both around me, also. I was once a hard core conservative. Very narrow minded and stubborn. Then I moved to the Triangle area. After seeing the benefits of living here compared to MA, I have moved to the center. Now I can see both sides. Now I want both sides around me. I like the different views. I would be afraid to be all one sided now, as I can clearly see no side is 100% correct. I guess it has been part of the wonderful enlightenment I have experienced since moving to this area.
