I really hope Sac Press doesn't start allowing "articles" like this all the time....why should we all read one girls poorly written opinion on how midtowners think about "the burbs"..when they in fact have never lived downtown...shame on you Sac Press. This is reminiscent of a facebook/blog rant....

I just was just at K street mall, that Macy's is awful....literally nothing in the womens section I would even try on...they cant compeat with Arden when there "flag ship" store is horrible. And the fact that it is a ghost town after 5 means i never go there during the week....Arden isnt that far away and at least there are a bunch of people around..... Housing and Trader Joes sound like great ideas!

good point Kim, i understand Sac isnt New York...and i left NY, so i dont thinks the grid lock, $10,000 dollar a year parking spots are the answer at all.... I just think this "Sac parking is so horrible, what are we going to do" tude is a little crazy. Paying for parking certian places will cut down on inter-city traffic...instead of driving to 58 degrees maybe i'll walk, or have a friend pick me up...the money from that could maybe go toward building parking structures or something ...not say that is a good thing but its the world we live in..especially for people without parking permits for those areas.... Although i would love the coin meters to take something besides quarters....its kinda annoying :)

I'm from New York, so this whole topic is silly to me, wanna talk about horrible parking? haha.....Sac has great parking for a med-sized city. I live a block from freemont park and never have a problem...you live in a city center? stop being so whiney. I only have problems on Sat night at 10:30pm...what a shocker, I should write an article about it....*Tear rolling down my cheek*....I say, if you get a ticket, thats your fault and I would love for the city to make as much money as they can from it. If you dont like it go live in Greenhaven or Folsom. They have plenty of driveways for you.

Joel makes a good point, last time i was up there i saw Mike Bibby and his group of almost 30 coming out of the steakhouse (granted that was A LOONG TIME AGO)... Bottom line, it is a business decision for the casino, and a good one at that!
