I just read her blog. Why does she not leave that place? -—which is the same thing I tell folks who are terminally critical of Texas, the USA or wherever. I guess she would not have an entertaining blog is she did.
Berkley doesn't have a chance.
People don’t have to live in any particular place to have the right stuff in their heads. Take a look at Austin, Texas for example.
Berkeley can be a very entertaining place to live.
Here's John Yoo on living in Berkeley:
DC: Youve been teaching at UC Berkeleys law school for more than 20 years now. Obviously your political orientation stands a bit against the prevailing political winds here. What initially attracted you here, and whats kept you around?JY: Its one of the great universities in the world, and one of the great law schools in the world. Ive always thought myself very fortunate to have gotten a position here.
Ive always lived in liberal environments. The only time Ive ever worked in a conservative environment was two years in the Bush administration, and I cant say I enjoyed it all that much. Im used to being surrounded by liberals. Liberals make better food, they have entertaining cultural activities, theyre good at making handmade items. Its always good to live in liberal towns, I think. Conservatives are not having any fun in conservative towns.
