Portland, Honolulu, and probably Los Angeles seem to be liberal.

Are you talking about the city or the metro?

Cities really. The 'burbs are invariably much more right-wing than the city they surround. This is true in Britain also.

The U.S political "spectrum" is more like this:

 
                   Populist        
Liberal                         Conservative
                  Moderate    

Lib=Socially and Economically Left
Con=Socially and Economically Right
Mod=Socially Left, Economically Right
Pop=Socially Right, Economically Left

I agree on Ann Arbor being quite liberal, having gone to college there for 4 years and lived there for a total of 6 years. It's a great city. Smiley

South Boston is very conservative.  Cambridge is very liberal.  Dorchester is economically liberal, newton is a bit more economically conservative.  Out there in Everett it gets more conservative too.  You can tell easily on the subway.  some parts of some lines have lots of folks reading the Boston Herald, other parts of other lines have lots of folks reading the Boston Globe.  Dead giveaway, usually.  

Also, don't confuse the terms liberal and conservative with Democrat and Republican.  These are not mutually orthogonal sets.  Also, don't confuse liberal and conservative (which have more to do with funding issues) with authoritarian (aka populist) and anarchist (aka libertarian), which have more to do with the so-called wedge issues.  Then there's the matters of Education and Defense, which do not necessarily correlate well with other measures of penny-pincher vs drunken sailor spending.  

For example, Pittsburghers vote like economic liberals, but are big authoritarians on the social issues.  On the contrary, Losangelinos vote like economic conservatives (especially out in the county) but like libertarians on social issues.  It's rather more complex than the question permits.

Jackson is not that conservative; it is half African-American and the entire city government is Democrats.  The suburbs though, especially Madison, and the ones in Rankin county---those are conservative

These days, central city Cincinnati (and Covington and Newport) is not very conservative compared to the rest of America. But when you get out into the suburbs, look out!

Let me tell ya, there's some conservative stuff going on in the suburbs!

That's true... the Dems usually win 60-70% in the inner Cities in the Cinncinnati area (Jerry Springer was mayor of Cincinnati for a while)... but the 'burbs vote 60-70% GOP.
One of the most politically divided parts of the US, IMO.

I never been to Flint.  I'd guess that bad weather makes people a bit more socialist.

Lived in Austin, but never felt like I was surrounded by socialists.

Been to Portland.  It's more Dyke, butch/bulldyke, than liberal.  Nice place.

San Diego is great, beautiful climate.  With such a strong naval presence, I could see how'd you would misinterpret it as conservative.

Haven't spent much time in Alabama or Georgia.  My guess is that it's full of poor blacks who are economically liberal for sure.  Fortunately they don't vote.

San Diego is NOT conservative. It's moderate, if not, liberal.

Flint is economically very left wing.
