Admittedly the parent post didn't add much to the discussion, but:

I'm sorry, but I only got this impression once I got all the way down to your comment after reading the blog post.

    > SF is uber progressive.

Is it really? Well, since "progressive" has seen some really weird changes in meaning in the US over time to one I cannot really recognize any more maybe you are right - using the current strange definition. If there is any at all, and the "left/right identifying words" are just thrown around unthinkingly.

Check his post history, it's a long stream of rants against "the left" and the Clintons and so on.

Where in the US do you think there is a greater density of "Ayn Rand followers"?

Nevada? Quite libertarian-voting in recent elections.

I'm not sure about the density, but you'll definitively find some appreciators and libertarians in New Hampshire - considering the Free State Project.

At the very least, I would look at states that elect self professed followers to Congress.
