Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Cambridge, hands down. I especially can't really see any argument for Greenfield or North Adams.

Provincetown isn't a city.

New Englanders are very particular about what a city is and what is not. To further complicate things to outsiders, there are towns which call themselves "Town of" but legally function as a city.

Greenfield being one of those, as a matter of fact!

Of these cities, Stein got almost 4% in Northampton.

No surprise. It's a good fit for her anyway, and she made a campaign stop there.
Why did Trump only get about 12% in Northampton, which is over 80% white, but got more than 1/4 of the vote in Hacienda Heights?

Northampton is a college town, considered the "lesbian capital of the world," and is famous for hippies, environmentalists, and other left-wing people. It's a bit like Santa Cruz, California. Not sure what the best SoCal equivalent would be.

I don't know about Hacienda Heights, but it's fairly common for minority-heavy towns to have very conservative white populations.
Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary in Hacienda Heights. Who won the Democratic primary in Northampton?

Sanders in a walk.

Incidentally, there is a WWC side to Northampton that people don't really talk about (of course, these people are still liberal as hell). I'm not familiar enough with Cambridge to know if there's a similar demographic there.

Liberal blue collar white voters are a major reason Sanders won the Northampton primary.

I know that.
