I’ve done a good amount of googling and find a lot of stuff but I’m not finding as much info as I’d like about the politics and general “crunchiness” of the area. So I guess that’s why I’m asking here at DU. Would a liberal like me have a chance to find like-minded friends and interests there? Are there any neighborhoods or areas I should avoid because they trend too red? Am I going to be the lonely little petunia in the onionpatch again? 😏
