Quoted from jawjaw:Cities are mostly liberal while outside areas and rural more conservative
This is what I am trying to figure out.... This describes every state in the country. Is California the exception?
Reading through the post, I think the OP is basically looking for an upper-middle class, white suburb, with taxes/property values high enough to keep out everything else. You can find those everywhere. I have never been to California, maybe those places don't exist there.
Good luck with your move!
