Just a thought. Instead what you chose to do was make a snarky, holier-than-thou one-liner that did nothing for them. Good job.

And it has nothing to do with me "liking" the ghetto or "crappy" cities. I just know what is and isn't ghetto or crappy and I actually go there and find some of it to be quite nice. Some places get ugly reputations solely because people like you generalize far too much. Some of it sucks, sure, but some of it doesn't. One of the most gorgeous views I've seen in the Bay Area was from the backyard of a gorgeous home in a safe neighborhood in Glen Cove that had panoramic views of the mountains, the Carquinez Strait, and was less than $200,000. It doesn't have to be for everyone, but that's the kind of value I could get excited about as a consumer.

My favorite coffee shop in the Bay Area? In Vallejo.

One of the best blues/jazz venues in the Bay Area? In Vallejo.
Well they asked for opinions about the area and I offered one that was related to their situation. I just don't think you liked it, as with any negative opinion of Vallejo, so you shot back with some snappy irrelevant comment yourself. So now not liking a city and having a bad opinion of it "holier-than-thou"? Could you be more dramatic and defensive about one sentence?

I did offer a neighborhood suggestion which was not to live in Vallejo. I didn't want to go into details why really as it's fairly obvious and god knows how even more defensive you would have gotten from that.

Well you seem to have affinity for crapper, lower-tier Bay Area cites and get all defensive when some knocks them. Sure some areas can be nice and the city has some redeeming qualities as is with pretty much any decent sized city but the community as a whole is pretty bad in comparison. But like I said, to each there own, some people don't mind those types of places as much.
