Cities, for one thing, have more poor people who depend on the state, more immigrants who resent to conservative opposition to immigration, and in general, more people who recognize the importance of government. Government is way more important to people who use public parks rather than private yards, public pools rather than backyard pools, public roads and sidewalks, rather than private ways without sidewalks, etc., etc. Also, city people see poverty every day, even if they live in affluent neighborhoods. There's something about seeing homeless people and people who are living in dangerous neighborhoods that makes you want more to help them.
