No the crunchy crowd does. I think most Subaru drivers would rather skin themselves than go hunting |

Minneapolis: tall blonde educated Scandinavian yuppies
Boston: blue collar guys with beards that talk funny and like beer Oklahoma City: nondescript looking white people that go to church, love football, and will never leave the state New Jersey: Italians who live in huge fancy houses who know of good restaurants Fort Collins, CO: crunchy granola people that hang out in coffee houses wearing Birkenstocks or Tevas San Francisco: liberals who dress to look weirder than you and no one bats an eye |

| Colorado Springs: super conservative, right-wing evangelical Christian and military population. |

| Colorado Speings - shelves and shelves of poetry at Poor Richards Bookstore, stunning red rocks against incredible blue sky, Palmer's broad boulevards, 5000 people jogging at once. How I miss you! |

Berkeley, CA:
Liberal-minded tree huggers who detest plastic bags. Grassroots organizations all over. Homosexuality + open market for purchasing weed in place. No Bible Belt living there. |

I'll just go with where I've lived.
DC: A tale of two cities - on one side you have ambitious people, MC/UMC in origin, who "come to do good and stay to do well." Frequently become insufferable assholes once have been in the city for a while (see: DCUM). On the other side you have a fiercely proud group of natives that's getting aggressively pushed out by gentrifiers. Native here, and I've seen it all. Raleigh: Hyper-normative "liberal" southern city - southern in the worst way, but at least it is a college town. Boring AF. Austin: A rollicking good time of a city aka The People's Republic of Austin - an oasis of progressive thinking and liberal policies smack in the heart of a truly backwards state. Fun if you're a drinker and are younger than ~27. San Diego: the most segregated city I've lived in, filled both with abject poverty - experienced mostly by people of color - and hoardes of truly clueless, rich skinny blondes. Beautiful weather and beaches, horrible traffic. Expensive. |

Dallas: full of oil types and wannabes. Also the suburban types driving in from Plano. Lots of party girls and hot housewives that spend equal time at the gym, church, and nightclubs.

Philly: proud working class people that know philly sucks, but refuse to admit it. They beat up people that disagree. They boo santa. And they love really fatty yummy cheesestakes
Vegas: Glitter Glamour and poverty. All fake. |

I know a lot of people who refer to them as "lez-barus." |

Your SF stereotype is 20 years old: it's now Frat boy brogrammers who come to make a quick buck and party. Used to go to wall street but easier money in silicon valley. None of them of could code their way out of a paper bag, so they aren't really nerdy tech anymore. |

DC: Educated, advance degree is the norm.
New York: Few extremely wealthy, rest are poor. (agree about finance exec assholes). San Fran: Advance degree not needed. Few lucky nerds, others are just wannabes. LA: Uneducated, only few make it in Hollywood, fall back is porn industry. |
