"Conservatives" love to bash places like Charlottesville and Boulder as being "the People's Republic of..." etc, because (I assume) they perceive those places as bastions of Librul Think or whatever.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the cities on the top list are fairly well-known as homes of some of the great 'Liberal Arts' colleges and universities - some of the best schools anywhere. You know; those places where our innocent unsuspecting children go to be indoctrinated by evil Marxist professors, according to buttheads like Little Ricky Santorum - Provo being the probable exception. But I'm getting off the path here.
What do you suppose we could learn if we put the two lists side by side and looked at things like Air and Water Quality Standards, Growth Planning, Industry Zoning and Regulation, and and and - all the things "conservatives" love to bitch about. I wonder why the conservative towns are seen by their own citizens to be kinda crappy places to live.
