Turn Left: Liberal Friendly and Unfriendly Places

Friendly and Unfriendly places

What are the best places to live, work and visit if you are a liberal? What about the worst places? Below you will find a guide to the best and worst America has to offer, from thriving, progressive liberal-friendly cities, to backwards conservative places still stuck in the 19th century. All the city reviews are contributed by Turn Left readers like yourself...indeed, this area of Turn Left depends on people like you to weigh in with your comments.
