Conversation about: River Rock Tap House to open

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the bar-stool to bar height problem, the bar is too high. Its really quite off-putting and degrades the experience entirely.

Conversation about: Tesla Resonates at Thunder Valley

for the love of all, why wont the don v tesla thing just die? They both were wrong, and both need to get over it. Nothing worse than old men fighting like children over he said she said. Nonsense.

Conversation about: Green waste on-the-street pickup rates could rise

The volume of leaves during the fall and early winter in Midtown is staggering. I haven't heard from the city how residents should deal with that situation. The pile in front of my house typically takes up 2-3 car-lengths and stands 3-4 feet tall. There's simply no way to put that into a container. Then pile on top of that the endless stream of branches and limbs, plenty of which are too big for a container. Overall this feels like a half baked idea from people who don't live in Midtown. How about cancelling the Street Sweeper program? There's a service that does absolutely nothing and gets paid for it.

Conversation about: Fresh from Jalisco: New Midtown taqueria

I live in Midtown and work in Roseville- Living in Midtown we are blessed with such amazing food. the same cannot be said for Roseville. Jalisco stands out in Roseville as one of the best, but thats simply because of the lacking competition. I can have a cheaper, tastier, and heartier lunch at Tres Hermanas, which also has a sister site in Roseville called Sabores. But hey, to each their own. I hope the new location does well for them.

Conversation about: KTXL FOX40 To Debut Two New Digital Channels

Unfortunately I wont see any of these stations because I'm a satellite subscriber. I see that as a barrier to entry for many.

Conversation about: City Permits: Gone Too Far?

i know of developers who opt (some flat-out refuse) to not build in Sacramento because of this type of nonsense. So instead they head to the bay area where it is much more lucrative and surprisingly easier to get things built. Serious changes need to be made here, else we will choke out our beautiful city.

Conversation about: Cracks in the system

I live a few blocks from this guy and his two lots. Both of his homes are in disrepair and he's had quite a number of run-in's with the city. His neighbors have grown tired of his antics and lack of respect for the people who live around him. I wouldn't be surprised if it was his neighbors who are pushing the city to do something. Goes to show, be nice and respectful to those who live around you. You never know when they will bite back.

Conversation about: Opinion: Let's drop the ugly equivalence

I really appreciate this article. I'm a midtown homeowner and I wouldn't trade where I live for anything. Sometimes bad things happen. Its just the way of the world unfortunately. Whats disturbing though is the knee-jerk reactions when anything bad happens. Its all over the place, and it sucks. Its ruining the world we live in.

Conversation about: Second Saturday Synergy 2.0

"intentionally created an overwhelming climate of singles bar and drunken street partying in Midtown neighborhoods." I completely disagree. I do see 'regular' bars and restaurants, quite a few I frequent often. Its one of the reasons I bought a home in Midtown. There may be a bad egg in the bunch, but dont lump all businesses together. The culinary experience and nightlife in Midtown are simply amazing, I would hate to lose any of it because of an isolated event. Violence happens. Its an awful, terrible, shitty fact. Lets agree to treat our fellow brother and sister better. Teach our kids that violence is never the answer, and most of all set a good example and follow through.

Conversation about: Mayor Johnson doing a Drive By as our Children Die- Part I

What about the parents who raise these violent children? Why aren't they held accountable for the actions of their offspring? Instead of blaming the Mayor, blame the parents who allowed their kids to take the violent road in life. One man, 50K, and a few policies cannot magically fix the problem of todays youth. Its a problem with culture, and change starts at home with the family.
