It’s my firm opinion that a big part of the reason much of the LA area leans a good bit more to the right than you’d expect a diverse urban area to is because they were marinating the entire goddamn population in leaded gas fumes along with all the smog for like, half a century.
Edit: for those not familiar with LA weather patterns: look up “inversion layer”. TL;DR: it basically traps tons of stagnant air (and any pollution) in the Los Angeles basin, and it’s a weather pattern that’s typically present in LA for about 2/3 of the year.

They used leaded fuel everywhere though, why just LA?
Higher concentration of autos, perhaps.
I doubt it worse than places where they grew food crops alongside roads though.
