The most Liberal/Conservative big cities in the US
[b] [/b]
[quote][url=http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2014/08/daily-chart-0]True to stereotype, San Francisco is the most leftie city in the union. But would people expect Washington, DC, to come second, ahead of Seattle (where it is legal to smoke pot) or the Democratic stronghold of Boston? On the other end of the scale, Mesa, Arizona is the most conservative large city, with a slew of Texan and Oklahoman municipalities high on the list.[/url][/quote]
If any of you live in these cities, do the results jive with your experiences? The [url=http://www.ctausanovitch.com/Municipal_Representation_140502.pdf]full study[/url] covers municipal politics and shows that "contrary to the academic literature, cities are largely responsive to residents' political views".

Now I live in the Bay Area and maybe I'm just desensitized to how truly liberal we are, but I don't think San Francisco is the most liberal city in the nation. It's a pretty huge, diverse place with most people seemingly unaffiliated with either party. IMHO, there's even other cities in the Bay Area that are more liberal than San Francisco; Oakland and Emeryville immediately come to mind.
