As a recent escapee from Silicon Valley, I knew it would be different here in the Sacramento area. I got a good house for a good price (just before the market fell off another cliff, landing me in the High Hopes Heap) but I couldn’t quite manage the cute Midtown bungalows I liked. So I landed in Citrus Heights, on a lovely quiet street, backed onto a creek with kid-trails. In my research before buying, the negatives I heard were all about skunks and helicopters, but I knew these were pretty go...

I've learned that Sac has so much more than it gives itself credit for, and a lot that the Bay Area doesn't have. Why compare a pho to a pot roast when you can love both?

I have lived in both Sacramento and on the Peninsula for at least 15 years each... there is no comparison at all... gee I wonder why the housing prices are so high there? Hmm, maybe it's because everyone wants to live there? The Parrhesiac 2009-10-30T06:29:27Z Patrick J. comment-16773 2009-10-30T02:19:39Z 2009-10-30T02:19:39Z I like your article.

Please tell all of your friends and family who are thinking of moving here that.
