uh no I have been to the Bay Area numerous times and all over up to Medocino, Napa, Mount Shasta. You are misled if you say the place isn’t run down, full of communists, attracts the homeless because of the weather and so on and so forth.

OK, if you say so kemosabe - you said previously that your statement was based on what folks from the Bay Area said, so you'll understand why I assumed you had never been here yourself. BTW, Mendocino over 150 miles from San Francisco, about 200 miles from San Jose. Mount Shasta is about 240 miles from San Francisco, almost 300 miles from San Jose. You're sure this was the Bay Area you visited?

A few parts are run down, as are parts of every other area in the nation. Many parts are very nice. It's not at all full of communists, though the sad truth is that the Bay Area is dominated by reflexive, unthinking liberals. I'm not clear on why you think it attracts the homeless since you previously said it was cold, but whatever.

Like I said, I'd suggest you come to the Bay Area - not areas hundreds of miles from here, but the Bay Area itself, and look around for yourself.
