I hope he's wrong there, or I'm going straight to hell!
Not that I'm very rich by S.F. Bay Area standards, but my investments in both stock and property (a decent house in S.F. costs about 700k or more these days) puts me in the top 1 percent in the world.
It's ironic that the most liberal city is also one of the richest ^_^ In fact, if you look at all the business centers in the U.S. (NY, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, etc...), they are all predominately liberal. Since there are no greatly successful conservative cities, we know how far a conservative society can go (the best a close-minded society can do is stay rural and isolated from global reatlities).
Imagine, if we had no liberals like Martin Luther Kind Jr., Abraham Lincoln and Jesus, we'd still be living in the stone ages both mentally and technologically.
