Is Sacramento the most overpriced city in the state?

Sorry sir you are wrong again. Very few Bay Areans use Sacramento International compared to Sacramentan's using SFO and Oakland airports.

You would think the North Bay and East Bay would use Sacramento International more often but they don't use it very much because they have 3 airports all closer to them. We would love them to use Sacramento International more often.

Year of most passengers:

2007 - Sacramento - 10,748,982 passengers/year.
2014 - Fresno - 1,442, 026 passengers/year.

Austin, Minneapolis, and Portland are all nice, however, and incorporate most of the things you guys seem to want. You should look into one of them.

I have no idea about fancy phrases, I'm just using the English language. Plenty of people back-up what I say either directly or indirectly.

Not sure what fantasyland you are talking about, perhaps your pre-conceieved perceptions of Sacramento don't match up to the actual facts about Sacramento.

I know quite a bit about Austin, Minneapolis and Portland and Sacramento is much more in their league than Fresno is that is for sure.

I'm not offended by you comparing Sacramento with Fresno, just don't distort that facts. You said earlier that Sacramento was under 2 million pop.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tistical_Areas

2014 estimate:
Sacramento MSA - 2,244,397
Fresno MSA - 965,974

I'll use your words, "You should probably check out your numbers before you post them, otherwise no one is going to believe anything that you say".

I'm sorry but the Sacramento Metro area including the City of Sacramento is just a lot nicer, overall, offering so much more than Fresno Metro and City. If we compared Sacramento with Portland, they would come up ahead, overall, except for the amount of backyard pools per capita or amount of sunshine.

But Sacramento is as similar to Portland as it is to Fresno.
Can't say the same about Fresno; it's more like Bakersfield than it is like Sacramento or Portland.
