re: #246 Rightwingconspirator

I look at that and I ponder another angle- By and large density of population creates left leaning energy. The conservatives often (not always of course) are in the less dense areas, from suburban light to outback. So to speak.

As the population increases and we establish all those lofts and condos in old city buildings-Are we literally building a more liberal nation, via non-political demographic trends?

Are dense urban populations generally more diverse by nature? I might think so. But I’m from a melting pot city-Los Angeles born and raised.

That’s an interesting angle. That dense urban centers are relatively left of center is an old and well documented fact — and it’s pretty universal. The question is, what makes urban areas trend left? I have a couple of hypothesis, but they are kinda sucky and I have to start taking care of dinner right now. Feel free to speculate, though. I’ll be clicking the “new comments” button once in a while.
