Ironically, Ada county was more balanced between red and blue than most Idaho counties. Also, Boise county was one of 2 counties in Idaho that voted blue last year.

Leaving out Lynchburg, VA instantly discredits the source.

Really surprised to see Anaheim on the list.

For a long time I lived one city over (Corona) from Anaheim, and while it leans conservative for California, it doesn't lean conservative when compared to the rest of the country. Before moving to Vegas, I lived in El Paso for 2 years - a democratic city - and El Paso would be considered to be more conservative than Anaheim.

And even if Ahaheim favors conservatives, it still has to live under a liberal dictatorship where many rights enjoyed in other states simply don't exist (Try getting a concealed carry permit in CA and don't even think about spanking your kid). And then there are the regulations...lots and lots of regulations. Oh, and the taxes, illegals, and the taxes. On top of that, the public unions run the state with the teacher's unions acting both the SS and Gestapo - when it comes to your kids, they have the "village" mentality. Did I mention the taxes? Living in Anaheim is like having a nice mansion in down town Detroit - thanks, but no thanks.

Right now, any true conservative in Californa is plotting his escape.

I moved from middle TN because it was too conservative. It was a complete police state the local governments poured money into little else including many quality control services typically done in other places. I did like the local taxes, gun laws, and pro tailgating laws.

Nice.

I've been wanting to get to TX for some time.

Can't say Gilbert, AZ is all that great however. I have spent time there, and it's nothing special.

I live 3 miles from Gilbert and I don't get them being included. It's no different than pretty much every other suburb of Phoenix.

Most cities just collect poor people who vote for the left. The suburbs and the country are the only places most conservatives can be happy with their political neighbors.

That's right. Liberals keep moving.

It's not. Suburban City controlled by anti-government Mormons.

If you are Mormon, you'll like it.
If not, you won't be welcome.

I'd much prefer...

San Fran, New York, Denver, Seattle, New Orleans, Austin...but I do like Memphis.

There are a lot of great things about Fort Worth.

Anchorage is also pretty awesome.

Conservative town.

I'd much rather live here...



And visit the other cities.

Where is that?

I like living here:



Charlotte has always been that city, that despite having far more registered dems than republicans, has often had republican mayors and city councils that have largely been willing to work with each other.

I fear that is starting to change though. If Cannon wins mayor today I'm not sure Charlotte will even be run by a republican again. His opponent is very centered, so if that guy can't win, no republican will again.

I lean left, but I don't like the guy that is running for mayor as a democrat and I hope he loses, but I'm pretty certain he won't.

Florence Alabama.

It's just a beautiful 'mini-city.'

Just like every city in America, it takes a special taste to want to move to any of these places.
