In this video I'll talk about Sacramento's history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make it unique. Thank you for watching: Sacramento Overview | And informative introduction to Sacramento, California.

My hometown. Always in the shadows of the Bay Area, but quite an underrated city thats growing fast. Although small, i love our skyline. Very unique skyscrapers and just added 2 more (Natural Resources Tower topped out in 2021 at 344 ft & Sacramento Superior Courthouse this year 2022 at 330ft). Downtown & Mid town adding a lot of vibrant business & mid rise apartments and condos too (too expensive though)

As much as I love skylines, I do agree with you. One of my favorite cities is Madison, Wisconsin which is very unique among US cities in regards to its skyline (or lack thereof). On average though, I typically prefer a skyline with a few skyscrapers 🏙

I don't know that I agree with that. Sacramento has some big city amenities that Columbus does not, which in my opinion makes it feel like more of a "real city"....things like light rail and an NBA team, as well as lots of life downtown. Columbus feels a bit "manufactured" to me, like a Mister Rogers neighborhood of a big city. Which isn't all bad, but to me Sac seems more like a vibrant city overall.

as a native of Sacramento, it can get really boring here. Not to mention the traffic is terrible, and even getting to SF is difficult because of traffic. Heading up to Tahoe get boring too, LOL! I mean, seriously, you can only go to the same restaurants so many times! additionally, many of the creatives in the downtown area were forced out due to rising costs, so now it is fully of breweries (how much beer can people drink before it just gets old) and a watered down local music scene that features nothing but bro bands, sigh. Also, it used to be the 'City of Trees' before they changed it to the 'Farm to fork' and will often hold a boujee farm to fork dinner for rich people, blah.

@hollowfragment237 Жыл бұрын
moved here from LA and I agree heavily on the traffic here. LA has terrible traffic too but you can get around in about 20-30 minutes. In Sacramento, it can take up to a damn 40-55 minutes. THE LIGHTS take forever because they are all designated left turns. LA you had to yield for left turns but it was faster saving you 2-3 minutes. I find that if you don't have hobbies then it can get boring here. But I like to stay home, play videogames, and watch movies so it's not too bad. its quite similar to LA but just without amusement parks like Disney and Universal. But those are so heavily priced and packed to the brim now it's not worth it.

There was a great flood of winter 1869-1870 that flooded the San Joaquin Valley, with Sacramento being smack dab in the middle. Drowned out the inhabitants of the city, resulting in the elevation of the area we locals call Old Sac. Flood of biblical proportions. On another note, Sacramento will only be interesting if you’re okay with summers whose temperature rises to as high as 110 degrees and higher and housing so close to your neighbors that you can see, hear and feel your neighbors activities. Choose wisely.

Personally, I don't care about skylines. Sometimes, it's that there are no skylines that makes a city great! Why ruin a city's beauty with too many skyscrapers??? Perhaps you don't know this, but there is a law that no older buildings (built before a certain year), can be torn down and must be marked historic. So, this is why there are not as many ugly skyscrapers. They have a much deeper and greater respect for their history!

I Left Sac after 20 years and can confidently say how bad its gotten in so many ways. Affordability is awful, Air Pollution much of the year is just terrible, traffic is brutal, homeless problem is third world levels, parks and recreational areas are totally riddled with bums and drugs, gang violence is rampant, restaurant scene is really weak, atrocious schools, pestilence especially in W Sac was disgusting, fires constantly greying out the skies, poor policing, and on and on. I watched how far and how fast it went down in just the last five years and had to go, left Cali and it was the best thing i could have done. California is sinking faster than a iron ingot and wont change. Gonna need a lot more lipstick for that Pig.
