This seems to work for me so far...

  readCityAndStateFromResult: (data) ->
    displayName = []
    for component in data[0].address_components
      if component.types and component.types.length
        switch true
          when 'locality' in component.types
            displayName.push component.long_name
          when 'administrative_area_level_1' in component.types or 'administrative_area_level_2' in component.types
            displayName.push component.short_name
    return displayName.join ', ' if displayName.length
    return null
