True that devil... way more terrified personally about buying home in little boxes suburbia than bullet flying ghetto... but financially you don't want to be living in the ghetto, least not if you're buying

I have never heard anyone being happy about living in a ghetto or thinking it was an ideal environment... seriously... the "Right Wing Cookie Cutter Community" comment sounds like a "Leftist" liberals perspective or someone stuck in a ghetto and hating that fact...

I can't see how that would/could ever be scary, maybe not your idea of nervana... high crime rate ghettoville with drive by bullets, muggings and assaults can in no way equate to to the experience to living in a conservative community.

Honestly, there are a multitude of "scary" defintions. When I worked out in Placer County, the "scariness" I experienced had everything to do with the right winged, neo-conservative, soccer mom mindset that I dealt with everyday. Ugh.

I agree, no one wouild think the ghetto is nirvana. However the intention of my statement (and btw I am in no way "Leftist" liberal) was for the person asking the question to define what "THEY" meant by scary. We all have our own personal issues and what scares us, while my statement may have been a bit too tongue in cheek for you it does not negate the fact that there are people who are afraid of the right wing and would find the a neighborhood full of them as "scary."

You can always live outside Sac. Like Roseville or Folsom.

The big city is not for everyone.
Big city and Sacramento are two words that do not belong together

I agree...except when one is referring to crime and overall urban decay.

I dunno about that...Sacramento is still in the small end of the big-city range, but it's a big place, population-wise and geographically. People just don't think of it as a big place, because of its proximity to bigger metro areas like Los Angeles and the Bay Area. It's in the rank of second-tier big cities like Cleveland, Oakland and Portland, though.
