Lady Bird - Sacto & UC Davis There was also a theme about her good natured, unemployed father who got an MBA at Davis if I recall. Sac from 30 years ago to today seems to have changed a lot, good and bad. Midtown seems hopping. Food scene better.
I was surprised to see suburbs north of Sac with sketchy problems, homeless, shady people. Same thing in the Cal Expo area which seems nice, yet beggars on the boulevard. Perfectly suburban areas north of Sac, but I would read about crime on the light rail and friends warned against me taking it downtown. Their area seems like it used to be families, active, kids have grown and area aged? I wonder if Section 8 housing plays a role, some sketchy places near the local shopping area.
My guess is that private industry hasn't brought enough high paying jobs. I hear Elk Grove, which boomed, brought SoCal problems north? My guess also is a segment on the left don't like the police or religion, so these are big changes. Traditional nuclear families less.
I wandered into an area with expansive custom established homes, massive front lawns. ARC area? Really spectacular. Folsom seems great, people friendly, though some there said it was changing, complained that insular ethnic groups were coming in, not joining the wider community.
