Why do Westchester and Nassau vote so differently?

Westchester and Nassau are just very different places, and they attract different types of people. Westchester is more "city commuter with young kids living in a town with boutique shops, diverse friend group, might still get a country club membership" so it's just a place where people like to at least appear socially liberal. Lots of artsy people, lots of suburban-leaning on urban places. Nassau is "city commuter, family has lived here for generations, spends weekends out on LI at the beach". People are more likely to live in a house, not an apartment, have to drive to their train station not walk, generally have a more suburban experience, things like that which generally make a place less left-wing. Just my anecdotal experience knowing a bunch of people from both places.
