Why choose a new one? Pick one of the great older progressive cities, such Shangra-las as Detroit, Atlanta, and D.C.

These places are where one might go to be truly progressive, avoiding the ironic, zero-sum progressiveness of trying to identify the biggest crowd of like-minded people and amenities. These places or, like, Ft. Wayne, Indiana or Yuma, Arizona. Progress for real, bro.

Yeah, come to Baltimore. It's a progressive's dream. The most democratic city in one of the most democratic states. A perplexing mix of the highly educated and high crime. Great history, great architecture, and cheap living. Great bars - working class bars. A city where unions are still respected.
Most rural college towns will fit your description.
Chicago, SF,
Louisville, Tulsa, Austin, Palo Alto, Iowa City, Gainesville
San bernardino, riverside, palm springs
Bellingham WA. Has all you mentioned. Except possibly the weather, if you hate rain in the winter. However the temperatures are usually pretty mild most of the year which I liked (not too extreme either way). Very pretty area with good running trails.
Greensburg KS
ok not so hippie
or liberal come to think on it.
as Emily says
Nevermind
Burlington VT has good running weather for most of the year, has great trails, and it doesn't get much more progressive/liberal/hippie than this.
Unfortunately, the few months it doesn't have good running weather, it really doesn't.
pueblo, co
Nothing like grinding out a 12 mile run on the hard concrete in Dallas on a 103 degree afternoon and then going to hang out in the pool with a bunch of like-minded Republicans listening to Rush Limbaugh.

Please don't refer to Maryland as a democratic state. The city of Baltimore and PG County are democratic. The rest of the state is conservative. Even Montgomery County (once a very liberal area) has become more conservative. I believe Bush took MoCo in 2004.
MoCo conservative? Not where people live.
Yes, remember that the nation is almost entirely Republican.
If you looked at 3-D map, you would see a sea of red punctuated by a few blue spikes around cities.
If the conservative majority on the Court can overturn Baker v. Carr, we can return to the good old days, when congressional districts represented land and not people.

I think you're just making stuff up!
