The 'Most liberal American cities' are so-called "progressive" cities in the United States that are usually are in Blue states / unfree states.
These most leftist cities typically have even more draconian Nanny state local laws in addition to the onerous liberal state laws in support of the progressive police state, especially support for Gun free zones, Gun control and ammunition control, along with the Homosexual agenda (see San Francisco values), and illegal immigration "sanctuary" and tend to follow Hollywood values in terms of drugs and other liberal values.
Liberal Cities Generally Found in "Unfree States"
Almost all of the liberal cities, with the exception of Austin, Texas[1], are found in the Blue state liberal Democrat "death spiral" Nanny states / progressive Police states. "The East Coast and West Coast (Left Coast) had the most liberal states including Vermont, Massachusetts, Delaware, New York, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Maine, California and New Jersey." One characteristic of blue states is that many of them legalized abortion before the Supreme Court's 1973 federal Roe v. Wade ruling. [2]
