I grew up in Temple City. Small world.

Kaiser pays RN's $50/hour in the Sac area. Plus the nursese just negotiated a 17% raise over the coming 3 years. Too bad I'm not a nurse.

Too crowded, yes. Too liberal? I guess that depends on your point of view. I grew up in San Francisco, so Sacramento seems pretty conservative to me.

very curious about Red Bluff and Redding Caliifornia....how accepting is this area. I have a ten year old daughter that is very used to diversity of culture and beliefs. How do you think she would do? Is there an acceptance of differences? I would very much like honesty in any direction.

Although there are some different ethnic groups in Red Bluff and Redding, it is pretty much anglo-saxon and conservative. I guess it's all relative. If you're coming from Iowa, it will be culture shock to see all the different ethnic groups. If you'r coming from the SF Bay area, it will be culture shock to see the absence of different ethnic groups. It all depends on your perspective. But Redding/Red Bluff isn't the first place that I would think of if I were looking for diversity.

An erstwhile agricultural town that has outgrown its origins, Sacramento has transformed its outlying tomato fields into tract house developments. Searing summer heat, choking photo-chemical smog and a paucity of cultural life work against the town's ability to attract the affluent. Even the governor lives in Brentwood.

I agree with the previous author about the searing heat and agrarian town that has outgrown its roots. But having visited Sacramento since the 60's and living here since the late 90's, the town has improved in its cultural attractions compared to decades past. It still is not and may never be a San Francisco or other cosmopolitan city.
But it's all relative. I came from SF, and it took me two or three years to adjust to the slower pace of life. Now when I go back to San Francisco, I find it crowded, noisy and dirty. A great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there anymore. At least not right in the heart of the City where I grew up. Other friends come from small towns and find Sacramento to be too fast paced for them. It's all a matter of perspective and perception. A nice town about 20 miles from Sacramento is Davis. There are many cultural and academic events at the UC school there. They have many art expositions and events too. Plus the new Mondavi center. The school district is one of the best in California too. And it's a few degrees cooler in the summer and 20 minutes closer to the Bay Area when you need your fix of "city life". But it's also much more expensive to buy a home there. Good luck. |

Yep..its horrible (tic)..that's why everyone from the bay area and LA are moving up here
.Im actually moving. There are a few reasons why - but part of it is because of the influx of people from there changing the "feel" of the area. Its not what it once was, but as in all things in life..things change and its all relative. ![]() |
