Looking for suggestions on great liberal US cities/ towns to live?
My husband and I are looking for a really great liberal city or town in which to live and raise our family. A place with a thriving art and cultural community, great public schools, higher education opportunities, and sense of community. We would prefer to go smaller town but are not opposed to larger cities if we can find the right niches in which to live. We would like a place where we can ‘live locally’ (i.e. farmers markets, food co-ops, small local businesses, short commutes, etc) We have pin pointed a few places but would love to hear other people’s suggestions. We are not really tied to a particular area or climate. We just really want to be around people like ourselves with similar interests and values. Right now we live in a mostly conservative area where urban sprawl is never ending. We do our best with it but don’t find many people that we connect with. Thanks for suggestions!!!
I am in love with the Northeast region and particularly enjoy Boston. However, I understand your aversion to a metropolitan area. One of my favorite area in the world is a city called Portsmouth, NH. Also, check out medium-sized town in Connecticut like Waterbury or Danbury. There certainly is a live and let live sort of atmosphere, a great emphasis placed on education, and and untouchable historical value.
Good luck in your search!

Investigate the Pacific Northwest. Northern California coast, Oregan, Washington.
I hear Seattle is a great place to live.
