Speaking of mayors, Sacramento's mayor for the last 2 terms is an African-American native Sacramentan, and he is married to an Asian(Korean) woman.
Sacramento is one of the top 3, most DIVERSE AND INTERGRATED Cities in the nation. Among people under 35 you really see the integration, very common.
Politically, Sacramento is one of the most even across the board, most liberal in the core/downtown/midtown - NorCal style liberal, surrounding the core, its less and less liberal, with half the suburban areas liberal to moderate and moderate to conservative. The outer suburban/almost rural type areas which tend to be very hilly to mountainous are the most conservative groups mostly republican.
The most liberal city in the Sacramento area would be Davis, just 12 miles west of downtown where the very large and very highly rated public University of California, Davis resides.
It will be interesting to see how Vanderbilt stacks up against UC Davis, I know UC Davis beats Vanderbilt in Veterinary Medicine as it is the best school in the world for that discipline. It likely beats it in several other disciplines.
Vanderbilt has always been rated higher than all UC schools in the higher times education rankings. Some other rankings probably put Berkeley and UCLA over Vandy but I don't think Vandy. Vandy is a better school than Davis.

Not if you want to be a Veterinarian. UC Davis is THE BEST, not only in the USA but the world for Veterinarian Medicine. Vanderbilt is a private, very expensive school. UC Davis is a very good PUBLIC University, and cost much much less than Vandy.

Nashville wins in higher education, and entertainment. It has one more pro sports team, so I will give it sports as well. But most importantly, I would say potential. The city is exploding right now. No sac hate here either I am most likely going to be moving to Sac soon.
Sacramento on its own would be a cool city probably. But in a state competing with some of the greatest cities in the world (SD, LA, SF), it's easy to look over it. Nashville is the premier city of Tennessee hands down.
