Rephrasing, why are coastal states democrats?

Coastal states in the west and the northeast attract artists and intellectuals. Boston/Cambridge could be considered America's brain trust. To a similar extent the Bay area, with Berkeley, Stanford and other top schools. There are pockets, even in Texas, like Austin, often called a blue town in a red state. My hero of modern history and politics was a linguistics prof at MIT. I presume he still lives in the area.

An old partner of mine, non adult, once said, Boston is the brains, New York is the money and D.C. makes things change.
