Those signs are being made as I write. Give it two years.

LOL wow. Ok, I misremembered and it's 839,000 or whatever it reads. The point is it's a 49 sq mi city and its population increased by roughly 25% in the time frame I referenced. That's the ENTIRE point. Ir's crowded. Extremely crowded. You can divert the argument to a debate over signs, but no one cares.

When I read a post like this I always wonder what the person was trying to accomplish. Even if I had intentionally exaggerated the figures, is a 60,000 overstatement significant? No, it's not. 900,000, 820,00, 847,000 what's the FN difference. The point is that it's always been an extermely dense city with nowhere to grow but up (notice the increase in high condos)....and it's crowded.

The "overstatement" is significant because you wrote "Now the sign reads over 900,000", which it does not.

Falsehoods do no one any good here, and just mislead newbies who are reading this forum looking for a new place in which to live.

Yes, the people are friendlier, there are plenty of good restaurants, abundant shopping and nearby suburbs which are affordable, safe havens for families who want good schools. Downside is the summer heat and SF has awesome scenery (but then again SF would beat out plenty of much larger cities in terms of natural scenery).

Since my job is talking about relocating to the central valley (Stockton/Lathrop area) I would put up with the commute down 99 if that means I could afford a 2-bedroom place for the same of very slightly more than I'm paying for a room here in the south bay.

My folks moved from San Francisco to Sacramento late last year and they have zero regrets.

You'd probably want to be closer to 5, like Pocket/Greenhaven or the west side of Elk Grove. I'd even check out Lodi, it's a small town but you could get something nice right in the heart of it and the commute wouldn't be as bad as coming from the Sac area.

If my job was in Stockton/Lathrop though, I'd probably just live in the delta or the hills to the east and deal with an hour commute. But that can be too rural for some people.

Don't wish to be too rural, I need things to do lol.

Stockton is definitely off the table. My friend gor her place ransacked not 3 months after moving there from Livermore.

Try Elk Grove
