Why are liberal places like Cali, London metro, Catalonia, etc, the most developed parts of their respective countries? Even in my country, the most developed place is by far the most liberal one

Usually built at a port or other source of wealth. When you live under a waterfall of money, you lose perspective of the reality everyone else has to live in.

California was a Republican stronghold until the late seventies, after the industry and infrastructure had been built. By then the Spics, liberals, and niggers had helped change it to a swing state, which went full Democrat during the 80s when Reagan stupidly gave the Spics amnesty.

Most of that innovation came from the 80s. And California was red until the mid 1990s. Just because a bunch of spics vote Dems for handouts, that doesn't make them "liberal".

The most developed areas of the world are also the most diverse and cosmopolitan. This causes them to be more liberal in two ways.

1) The brown people/immigrants/"outsiders" are themselves more liberal. If you are the sort of person to move to a foreign land, you will generally have less attachments to tradition, either your own or those of the land in which you have taken up residence.

2) Even the natives who live in these cosmopolitan spaces will be more liberal, simply because their friends/colleagues/family will be from the out-group. Its harder to hate black people when you work with a chill black dude every day.

This only explains the tendency to be more socially liberal- I'm not sure if there's an explanation for the increased economic liberalism.
