I believe that cities provide the anonymity necessary to behave without personal accountability.
By contrast, in a small town, or suburb, people often know who you are, who your family is, where you work, etc.
In the city, you're just another face. Or... just another gay man, godless individual, foul-mouthed neanderthal, woman that has an abortion, etc... No one "judges you" because there is no "you." You are anonymous.
Take away accountability, and people tend to do whatever they want, creating a moral and ethical enviornment that is much different than that of smaller communities.
IMHO, of course.

But you're not "Just another conservative." in the city. You're a 'Nazi", especially in Minneapolisgrad.
