I'd say "relatively conservative", then, certainly some city governments are quite "liberal" in terms of law enforcement issues.  That is probably the main one I can think of.

City governments in Dallas and Houston are more conservative than their counterparts around the country.

And of course the state governments in Florida and Texas also heavily influence the local politics.

I didn't think I needed to explain this to the extreme of pedantry but here we are.

Are you sad that your attempts at strawmen like "I guess NYC must be a ghost town" aren't effective and you're being easily refuted with the fact that "NYC population is declining?"  'Cause you probably should be.

I'm sad that you created a strawman, are arguing solely against it, yet are not realizing it has absolutely nothing to do with my point.

• The South continues to pace the nation in population growth, with Atlanta, Dallas and Houston among the big gainers last year.
• New figures from the Census Bureau reveal continued population losses in the Northeast and Midwest. New York City has lost more than 500,000 residents since the start of the migration.
• Population losses have started to slow in most major metro areas, with gains last year in Boston, Minneapolis and San Francisco.

People aren't fleeing cities

I know San Francisco is often held up as a "liberal city out of control", but sizeable parts of the city are quite nice.  The Tenderloin area is atrociously out of control.
