I named the issues that we vote conservative on.
at the local level, we are conservative and do not vote "blue"
our governor is republican, and our past governors were conservative
all those places you mentioned are extremely wealthy
the people may vote however they do, but when it comes to business and the actual movers of industry, we are conservative
you can talk to students, but I'm discussing the departments, where the research is conducted, the policies that are recommended, the thinktanks like RAND, these are the things that drive our prison industry, our crime policies, the way governance should operate, this shit is conservative bro
now I'm asking you to name some liberal policies, not tell me how many people express that they're liberal.
just this most recent election, the drug rehabilitation programs failed, the victims crime rights that decimates our criminal justice system passed, the abortion notification of minors failed by like 400,000 thousand votes and abortion is something most people agree should be legal in limited ways from both political spectrums, and then prop 8 passed.
now please go look up the mayors for the cities you mentioned and let me know what liberal policies they espouse.
in fact, did you even follow last mayor election in San Diego? It was a fiasco....you should read about it or I'll post it after I play some Ratchet and Clank.
