It would be ironic if it were even remotely true. Liberal cities are, not coincidentally, the most crime ridden cities on the planet. Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, SF...all high crime and all very liberal. Of course NYC was once on that list (thanks to the liberal leadership) and then a conservative came in and changed it almost overnight. Thanks to the conservative the city is now liveable. Unlike the drug addled, homeless mess the liberals have turned SFO into. A once nice city filled with people sleeping on streets.
Now on to your "there are no conservative cities" lie. Salt Lake City (beautiful, successful, and low crime), Boise, San Diego, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, Tampa Bay, and many others come to mind. Here is a list of others:

Now what sticks out on that list? Hmmmm. On the conservative side we have Provo, Colorado Springs, Hialeah, Simi Valley, Clearwater...
On the liberal side we have Detroit, Gary, DC, Oakland, Inglewood, Newark, Flint, Hartford...
Gee, if people could choose I wonder which of those lists of places to live would be preferred?
So one list contains beautiful cities with low crime and low poverty. And one list contains crime ridden cesspools that no one who can afford to desires to live in. In fact you could take the highest crime cities list and pretty much duplicate it with the most liberal cities in the country list. A conservative country would be clean, low crime and ideal. Whereas a liberal one would be like SFO; a high crime, high poverty mess filled with drug addicts.
