A few years ago, the Bay Area Center For Voting Research listed the most conservative and most liberal cities in the United States.
They did this by looking at how every American city with a population of at least 100,000 voted in the 2004 presidential election



Cities with more conservative votes than liberal votes are considered conservative cities, and cities with more liberal votes than conservative votes are considered liberal cities. Cities with the highest percentages of conservative votes were deemed the most conservative cities, and cities with the highest percentages of liberal votes were deemed the most liberal cities. Simple enough.

The 15 most conservative and 15 most liberal cities are listed below, along with their violent crime rates

The 15 most liberal cities in the US:

- Detroit, Michigan - 24 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Gary, Indiana - 15 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Berkeley, California - 5 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Washington, DC - 13 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Oakland, California - 16 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Inglewood, California - 8 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Newark, New Jersey - 11 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Cambridge, Massachusetts - 5 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- San Francisco, California - 7 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Flint, Michigan - 24 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Cleveland, Ohio - 14 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Hartford, Connecticut - 13 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Paterson, New Jersey - 11 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- Baltimore, Maryland - 15 violent crimes/1,000 residents
- New Haven, Connecticut - 15 violent crimes/1,000 residents


The national average is four violent crimes/1,000 residents. Every one of the 15 most liberal cities in the US has a higher violent crime rate than the national average. Twelve of the 15 have a violent crime rate that is at least double the national average. Two of them have a violent crime rate that is six times the national average.


The 15 most conservative cities in the US:


- Provo, Utah - 2 violent crimes/1,000 residents

Bigger cities will have bigger opportunities for violent crimes.
I doubt Lubbock Texas has the same gang problems as San Francisco.

In my opinion, only a complete retard with complete bias would look at this and say yup, ban liberals from every city over 100,000.

Well. lets see if you're right and who's the retard.


Lubbock Texas has a population of 236,000 and has 9 violent crimes per 1000 residents.

Flint Michigan has a population of only 102,000 yet there are 24 violent crimes per 1000 residents.

Colorado Springs Colorado has a population of 432,000 and has 5 violent crimes per 1000 residents.

New Haven Connecticut has only 129,000 but has three times the amount of violent crimes per 1000 resident than Colorado Springs.

Yup, I'd say you look pretty retarded dude

Ban liberals from every city over 100,000?
you don't have to worry about banning me from lubbock, texas. or abilene. or plano.

bakersfield is a shithole, by the way. so is mesa, arizona, but they probably count east mesa into things.

and comparing violent crime rates in san francisco to the violent crime rates in gilbert, arizona is a pretty stupid thing to do. but my parent's neighbor is included in those violent crime rates. domestic assault and battery, pretty fucked up shit.*

I'm looking at several places in Gilbert. A great town.

Let's look at numbers as a whole, shall we?

States with the lowest gun voilence & crimes as follows:
Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Iowa, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Maine, Nebraska.
Oddly enough, 9 of the 10 listed are liberal states.

State with the highest gun violence & crimes as follows:
Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Lousiana
Oddly enough, 10 of the 10 listed are conservative states.

And interestingly enough, the OP did not cite population density as a factor, which would correct the skewed poll he is representing. Yet another lie from the OP and the right.

Wouldn't violent crime rate be more relevant than singling out gun violence?

What does population density have to do with anything... study is per capita....?

Liberal cities = less legal guns, more illegal guns
Conservative cities = more legal guns, less illegal guns.

so you don't consider murder by car, knife, rock, fist as crimes? How about assault with a lead pipe? Robbery at knife point?
Those are not crimes and therefore do not warrant inclusion in the numbers as a whole?

What does population density have to do with it? The most populous cities in the USA aren't even included in the list. So either high population densities mean less crime, or you need another discussion point.

Why not compare small liberal cities to small conservative one? Age demagraphic, unemployment, size, and other factors have far more of a role than a voting record.
