RE: I backed up my criticism
I'll admit Peg's Glorified Ham & Eggs was good, Reno has that going for it in addition to the nice weather and proximity to Tahoe. It has an emerging tech industry that's set to compete with Sacramento for data center space.

The downside is that Reno is consistently on the list of "top worst US cities to live in", not to mention that the drinking water has been labeled as some of the worst in the nation:

"Reno gets most of its water from the Truckee River, which flows from Lake Tahoe. Of the 126 chemicals tested for in Reno over four years, 21 were discovered in the city's water supply, eight of which were detected in levels above EPA health guidelines, and three of these occurred in illegal amounts. These were manganese, tetrachloroethylene and arsenic. Tetrachloroethylene is a fluid used for dry cleaning and as an industrial solvent, and is deemed a likely carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Arsenic is a byproduct of herbicides and pesticides, and is extremely poisonous to humans. During at least one month of testing, arsenic levels were detected at roughly two and a half times the legal limit."
