I think that's basically every large metro area's view of those that live in a less dense environment. I get the same feeling if talking to someone who lives in San Francisco, as I live and was raised an hour north. Some of that could just be my own perception though.

Anecdotally, I've lived in San Francisco for a long time (over a decade) and I've never met anyone who has a negative, "redneck" impression of Marin/North Bay. The reaction I'd expect is "oh it must be beautiful up there".
I have noticed a little bit of disdain towards the more suburban parts of the Bay, like the Peninsula, but IME that has more to do with the way they interact politically with the rest of the Bay.

Well, less of a "redneck" vibe, and more of a subtle "I can't imagine living in some place so much less dense, and I can't see why you would live there other than it being cheaper." I think sometimes this is misinterpreted to be harsher than intended.
Sort of a "it's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there" vibe. Which, to be fair, is exactly how I feel about SF and the metro area around it.

Ah sure. IME, that's a pretty neutral & symmetric observation: I can't imagine living in Marin (at this pt in my life) instead of DT SF because it doesn't suit me in the same way. This is compatible with your observation that you feel the same way about SF.
