    Blue America has a problem: Even after adjusting for income, left-leaning metros tend to have worse income inequality and less affordable housing.

    I doubt DarrinS read past the lede, but the thesis seems to be well-supported in the body of the article.

    did you read it, boutons?

    yes, I read it, and it's pretty good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough to the Big Picture, of which je suis l'artiste sans pareil.

    I don't doubt that liberal restrictions on development play a role, but the "liberal" metros discussed here are highly desirable places to live. Regardless of politics, more people would rather live in San Francisco, Boston or Orange County than in Camden, San Jose, or Wilmington Delaware. Naturally, one would expect costs to be higher in those markets based on demand.

    sure, the real warfare in USA isn't left vs right, that's a smokescreen, distraction, for the real war, which Wealthy Class vs Non-Wealthy Class, class warfare.

    The Wealthy class is winning, in fact, has won, is now just mopping up the remains, going after taxpayer $Ts in public schools and pension funds.

    Most of cities that are the most expensive to live in are so because the DEMAND is there, not because they are BLUE or RED.

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/naomisha...es-in-america/

    ... the most conservative are relative small cities, happen to be away from the coasts, while the most liberal are the really big cities and big metros areas.

    smaller cities in isolated areas (no metro agglomeration) have plenty of SUPPLY to meet real estate demand so the prices are lower, NOT because it's a RED city. Do you think RED real estate developers would sell for less because they are RED or because demand wasn't there for higher prices?

    San Francisco is exorbitantly expensive for four reasons:

    1. Everyone wants to ing live here. It's one of the most beautiful places to live in the U.S. with one of the best climates you'll find anywhere. 80s in the summer, 50s in the winter.

    2. NIMBY asshats that do everything they can to prevent additional housing construction in SF proper.

    3. SF is a tiny city, by ANY stretch of the imagination. It's 900,000+ people crammed into an area that's only ~40 square miles. 40. That's ridiculous. LA is obviously a lot more populated, but it's over 10 times the area.

    4. Perhaps less of a factor, but squatters who sit on rent controlled apartments and pay $700 for an apartment that costs a new family moving in $4000 per month.

    Shocking, people want to live in left-leaning cities. I wonder why that is?
