When you read up on U.S. political basics, you can't help but come across the detail that many of the people in cities in the U.S. seem to lean left, yet what isn't as clear is why and what influences their concentration in cities/urban areas.

Cities don't exactly appear to be affordable, and left-leaning folks in the U.S. don't seem to necessarily be much wealthier than right-leaning folks, so what's contributed to this situation?

This is my take too. Reality has a liberal bias, and people doing skilled/educated work tend to have a firmer grasp on reality

Really like this answer. Agree. Reality has a liberal bias. Religion and wishing for a return to rose colored past times is foundation of conservatives I know.

So you think someone who designs cars has a better grasp on reality than a person who fixes cars?
