It's worth noting that the city of Jacksonville is as big as the entire county of Duval.

Yes, and it's the largest city, land area wise, in the US.

In the US outside of Alaska.

I could say the same thing for you and Boston.

Prudish cities are not liberal.

I don't care about how many strip clubs there are, I've only been to 4 in my life, of those I have been to one only twice and one only once. What matters is regulations, and South Dakota has once that the local prudes are constantly trying to shut down (despite being 3 miles from the nearest town, which has only 300 people). If Seattle is so bothered by their few strip clubs that they  must pass prudish laws to regulate them, they are not socially liberal, they are just like the prudes in the Bible Belt.

It is worth keeping in mind that just because people are socially conservative does not mean that they are purdes, for example South America is both much more socially conservative and much less prudish than the US.

Housing prices and crime rates are not affected by lapdances or whether customers can tip strippers directly. I don't see the logic there.

I heard Seattle has some pretty horrid laws on alcohol sales too, although I don't know the specifics. And if the citizens are not prudish, they will vote the prudish City Council out. However they still have a chance in November to prove they are not prudes by rejecting that awful prudish fascist law (which by the way you said you definitely opposed and would vote no doubt vote against it if you could vote)

Yes, I did find it amusing someone who listed Boston as liberal was telling me I had no clue about my picks.

Does anyone actually believe South Boston (which for some reason is actually located north of most of the city) is liberal?

Boston =/= Cambridge
