I proved that wrong with facts. The highest crime rates in the country are all in liberal cities. Detroit, New Orleans, Gary, Oakland, etc. All liberal cities and all high crime rates. And when NYC had one the highest crime rates in the world property values were high. So obviously high crime does not have a large impact on property values when other factors (like lack of choice) are present. The dirtiest cities are also liberal; Detroit, LA, etc. The cleanest cities are conservative (Tampa, SD, SLC, etc).

If you ever visited S.F. (the most beautiful city in the nation in my opinion), you would see why it's one of the few place in the nation that was immune to the mortgage crisis (prices continued to go UP!!! S.F.'s economy has been UNSTOPPABLE).

I lived there for a year and been there many times. It was once a beautiful city and was ruined by liberal policies like checks for homeless. Which not surprisingly resulted in more homeless than soda cans on the streets and aggressive panhandlers on every corner. By the way, SF's economy suffered one of the worst real estate crashes in the country in the early 90's.

Only with low crime, beautiful views, and the top jobs could a housing market be so stable.

As already proven, SF has a high crime rate. So obviously that is wrong.

For an example why people are elbowing each other for a home in this "gem of the U.S.", I can see the ocean from my house that is up on a hill, and my sinuses went away since I moved away from the suburbs (I lived in the suburbs, since I could afford my first condo there, that last several years until I could save up to buy a place in the pulse of technological innovation and progress) and near the fresh ocean air.

The conservative air and ocean views in San Diego works just as well. But without the homeless on every corner. By the way, which states in the country are the fastest growing? The red states. 100% of the fastest growing states all are red; Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Wyoming, Georgia, Idaho, Texas, NC and Utah. Yep every single one. And the states losing population? Well they all have a blue tint. Again every single one. 100%. Including your "paradise" California. As well as Michigan, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. So what have we learned, everyone is moving out of blue states and into red ones.

Further proving the spoils of liberal success, San Francisco is the third most popular tourist destination in the U.S. (NYC and L.A., also controlled by liberals, are #1 and #2).
|
Your data is faulty, Vegas and Orlando rank higher. Here is a list, be sure and note that half the list are conservative areas. I guess, using your logic, proving the spoils of conservative success.

How many people visited the cities you mentioned compared to S.F., L.A., or N.Y.C.?
It's clearly proven by the above facts: The more liberal the city, the more successful it is.

Actually the exact opposite was proven using facts. Toursim is split between liberal and conservative. The highest polluted cities? Liberal. The highest crime cities? Liberal. The lowest crime cities? Conservative. The states people are moving away from? 100% liberal. The states those people are moving to? 100% conservative.

And on top of that, San Franciscans are very active in helping out the less fortunate, so they can get on their feet, get a job, and become a contributor to society. If Jesus had to pick his favorite city, the open-minded and compassionate folks of San Francisco would make his choice easy.
|
Their "helpfulness" is why they have panhandlers and homeless on every corner. Jesus would rank SFO last because he believed God helps those who help themselves. He was against handouts without work, which is exactly what SF provides. He would have picked NYC under Giuliani (conservative) because welfare came with work requirements. Just like it did when he preached.

And with our FIVE SUPER BOWL rings to top off all of that, I couldn't be more proud to be born and raised in the beautiful coastal city.

You can have it, I left for a reason. And it wasn't because of its high quality lifestyle. Liberals ruined what was once a beautiful city. As they have most other big cities like Oakland, Detroit, New Orleans and NYC before a conservative took it back.
