I live in NY and yes people here have their heads up their a**. Everyone votes Democrat and yet no one can tell you just why.....
Largely true, although, unlike Chicago, San Fran or Seattle, there are Republican voting nabes in the city limits. These include Pelham Bay, City Island, and eastern Throggs Neck (Bronx), Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Gerritsen Beach (Brooklyn), Maspeth, Middle Village and Glendale (Queens), along with all of Staten Island south of the SI Expressway.
