Let me tell the truth. Sac is a depressing place. Not many folks with goals or doing shit. LA is a whole nutha animal so you don't have to worry about that. You can live in Sac and not get fucked with. Lot of random crime happening but probably won't hit your folks. Nothing to do, alot of racial diversity (which is good), but not alot of tolerate folks. Housing is overpriced. Best areas to be is Natomas (if you there, you done did something with yourself), East Sac, Land Park, but Arden is cool at the same time. Alot of ghetto folks in Sac. I've been to the East, West, South, Midwest...Sac ain't as bad as some folks think it is.
