Cities with the most liberal and conservative suburbs

[Sbane]

I like this idea, but it doesn't make much sense in my opinion to rate the suburbs of both San Jose and San Francisco when there's so much overlap.

Yeah, the Bay Area is-or is becoming-one very large metro area.

It's interesting to see Stockton in the SF Bay CSA. I always viewed it as more aligned with Sacto and the Central Valley.

It might not be the case so much with the city of Stockton itself, but Tracy and Manteca, perhaps Ripon as well, are definitely a part of the Bay Area with a large proportion commuting there for work.
