Of course, every state has some nicer areas, some more conservative or family oriented areas than others.
Overall, Maryland is a reliably blue Democrat state in presidential elections. And they have some liberal policies in place.
We could make long lists of such places. Liberal California has many nice areas, and conservative leaning areas. The red state of Texas has liberal enclaves such as Austin. Upstate New York has a number of more conservative areas, but the state is reliably Democrat in presidential elections , largely due to New York City being so liberal.
You have downstate Illinois vs. the Chicago area.
Kansas City and St. Louis vs. rural and small town Missouri.
Etc.
When I tell people I’m from Michigan they think I’m from Detroit. When I correct them and tell them Jackson, they think I was in prison.
