I think you have it backwards.
Those cities, by virtue of being early major population centers and trade nexus, became financial hubs and achieved a critical math of wealth... when you're that wealthy, it's easy to afford high taxes and crazy social policies.
Try some of that stuff in Kansas City or Lubbock, where working people have to pay for it....
