Miami May have some people who vote left but the culture of the city and most people there are not liberal in my opinion.
I would think Asheville, NC and Savannah, GA would make this list.

Has anyone said Austin? Cause it’s Austin.
No doubt about it, it’s definitely Austin.

Agree. I've been to Miami a good bit and have Cuban friends there. It is not a liberal stronghold

I always understood Eureka Springs to be filled with "free-spirited" hippy types. I take it that it's still that way?
Yes. Around 2,000 for population but there's always a decent influx of tourists to make it seem a bigger town than what it is. A very old town with a lot of BnBs.

Miami is not the South. It’s Northern Cuba/Haiti

Asheville. Maybe Nashville. Raleigh and Chapel Hill, too

Asheville has the beer snob and outdoorsy hipsters.

Miami South with geography but not sure I'd consider it "southern"

Not a liberal but that sounds good to me.

That's much of the Northwest West of the Cascades too.
It's been weird watching the transition from hippie (liberal) to Hipster (Prog) Hippies were definitely anti authority.

Austin is probably number one. Jackson is way up there if you believe racist communism = liberal. Ashville, NC; New Orleans, LA; all the little college towns (Athens, Oxford, Auburn); Birmingham, and maybe Atlanta if we're talking the city proper.

Charlotte, NC

East Texas, I always have. It's vastly different than the rest of Texas and geographically fits in with the South.

And Asheville is in Appalachia

Asheville is Portland, OR level of liberal.
I dont get this. Asheville might lean left, some of them far left, but it’s certainly not militant liberal by any stretch. They have a lot of different people who make up that place and most aren’t freaks like you will find in Portland, and those who are are almost certainly in West Asheville. There numbers aren’t that big.

Birmingham is pretty liberal. (The city not the metro.)
Posted on 4/5/19 at 9:43 am to LSUbase13
Austin by a mile. Asheville is way better these days.

I feel like your all just naming any place that has an education center (colleges) and a sizable minority population.
I’m not sure what you all even think of when you use the word liberal.
Take Key West, it has very liberal drinking laws (no Sunday blue laws like the old Bible Belt). A local government with a very progressive approach to climate and environment with the passage of a ban on sun screens, and designs on limiting use of one time use plastics. Key West has several arts and music festivals, embraces the LBGT community, and has a very multicultural mix of residents (very large minority community).
KW also had a republican mayor for 3 terms up until the last election and voted for Trump in the last presidential election.
