Other people do write like that. It's merely that I am without guile. (Well, without that sort of guile.) Interpretations like this don't occur to me until someone points them out. What I wanted to counteract was the view of the South Bay as a vast suburban wasteland where there is literally nothing to eat for miles (which in spots is true, just not our spots). I will prepare more specific info for PR3.
The SF neighborhood wasn't exactly dangerous, though it is on the edge of the Tenderloin, which is plenty dicey. The problem is that it's shoddy, run down, and surprisingly devoid of good close-by restaurants, especially surprisingly for San Francisco.
