<p>Yup! My residence is optimal as is those of my daughters, parents and sisters all of whom live in different states yet we share the same values. This is really cool!!! Definitely a retirement tool for me :)!</p>
<p>I did it two ways because I could live rural or urban. Rural I got Topanga which I could see as somewhat accurate. The weird thing was number 2 on that list was Greenfield Ca which I have driven past on Hwy 101. I can not see me even stopping to get gas there let alone live there.
If I switch to urban I get several zips in Berkeley and the Castro in San Francisco. I have been to SF many times but have never visited the Castro so I don’t know how accurate that one is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>However, in order to have a country left, it would also be better to avoid thoughtless shooting first and getting us into expensive unnecessary fights that cost lives and money while creating more enemies to deal with.</p>
<p>Well, pretty predictable, but if I said I don’t prefer urban, it puts me in the next town over where I have always wanted to live. If I say urban, it puts me in the zip where we own a condo. Love it. </p>
<p>
Let me know when you do, scout. I 'll be moving in :)</p>
<p>I don’t like the idea of this test because I already don’t like all the polarization in our country. More mixing of political and social views would be better, not worse, in my opinion. Right now people are reflexively taking on <em>all</em> the views of the party they espouse, rather than looking at whether a particular plank is one they support. For example, maybe a liberal among conservatives might decide that rent control is bad, even though elected Democrats support it. Maybe a conservative among liberals might decide that there are some wasteful expensive weapons projects that should be scrapped, even though elected Republicans support them. (I’m just trying to think of examples here.) More mixing might lead to more consensus, instead of all this shouting.</p>
<p>For those white liberal Christians who were placed in African American neighborhoods, it’s not that the test “thought you were African American.” Rather, according to the test you were most similar to African Americans. Maybe you would like living in a predominantly African American neighborhood, instead of living among godless white liberals like me.</p>
<p>“But once you’ve identified the state in which you want to live, who’s going to tell you which Zip codes are best for your ideological leanings?” …
- You mean for your pocket, right? yes, that is how we choose the Zip code in our city - by what our pocket can bear. That is how the second home is chosen also.<br>
The only place for us based on the ideology, would be Texas (the only hope for the USA to survive is if Texas will separate, otherwise, we are not surviving very well from what people around me think, but we have a different background and see a bit more than most others, not based on any additional education, but strictly on a very different life).</p>
<p>All 5 picks were much closer to Philly than Pgh and hundreds of miles away from where I live. And I thought I’m not very different from my neighbors. Maybe my choices gop/pro choice/not religious/not climate change/gun control/no tax hikes was too scattered across the mainstream choices.</p>
<p>Funny, @Dad<em>of</em>3, those were exactly my selections. Maybe you should move to Washington and live in Medina, where you’d fit in better. Beautiful city, nice people, though it takes a lot of income to actually be average there (average tax return AGI of 827K).</p>
<p>I used to cut through Medina to visit my mom.
They also have a good nursery with better prices than in my neighborhood.</p>
<p>My son in law was raised in Huntsville, and was dying to get out, went to school in Amherst & found that not any more to his taste than Alabama.
He found his people when he transferred to the northwest.
Although his family seem similar in views & they still live there.</p>

<p>Actually, many people do not follow the party line, according to <a href=“The Political Typology: Beyond Red vs. Blue | Pew Research Center”>http://www.people-press.org/2014/06/26/the-political-typology-beyond-red-vs-blue/</a> . However, many of those less inclined to follow the party lines are less politically engaged.</p>
<p>The more partisan types are 36% of the general public, but 43% of registered voters and 57% of politically engaged people.</p>
<p>They gave me San Francisco. Interesting, because I live in Silicon Valley and enjoy catching the train up to San Francisco. I also plan to transfer into SFSU.</p>
<h1>1 result is about 30 minutes from where I live. #2 is my city so pretty good for me!</h1>
<p>Interesting…When I answered honestly, it told me I’d be happiest in Charlottesville, Va. I’m not familiar with C-ville, given that I know no one who lives there, and it’s about 3 hrs west of us. But, I do like the fact that it’s a university town, kind of artsy, I hear, and somewhat politically progressive (though not extreme so). When I checked all the party-line boxes, it said 2) Alexandria (where my D lives) and 3) Arlington, but then, surprisingly, 4) Norfolk (which is about 30 minutes south of us, across the bay). I can’t see myself living in Norfolk…Erm…no. I’ve lived happily in Hampton for the past 27 years because I live in a diverse neighborhood full of kind-hearted people who look out for one another, and I’ve been able to locate my peeps through the various guilds and art groups I attend. </p>
