Someone once told me that some consider Sacremento a part of the Bay Area. Would you agree?

Not really. There are economic and social ties, and we're close enough to visit fairly easily (the Sacramento and Bay Area metro areas would fit handily into the LA/OC metro area) and there are a handful of Sacramento to Bay Area "supercommuters" but the mountains, weather and to some extent the culture make them separate areas. It's more like the relationship of Milwaukee or Indianapolis to Chicago, or Portland to Seattle.

wburg is correct.

For people who know Northern California well, arguably, one could say that if Sacramento were 20 miles southwest we would be another distinct area of the Bay Area, sort of the way, San Jose/South Bay and Oakland/East Bay are distinct areas of the Bay Area apart from SF.

NO, Sacramento is more like the Denver, Portland, Austin, Kansas City, San Antonio of California.

I would agree with that.
We're impoverished economically, culturally deficient, and socially backward......compared to the Bay.
We're like the gap-toothed cousin (the one no one in the family talks about) of San Francisco.
