r/Sacramento

Gas prices are hitting us all. As I drive to and from work, I've been wondering if I can get to work riding my bike & taking the light rail to work.

Driving: 38 miles a day. My car gets about 25 mpg, so my commute uses 1.5 gal per day discounting sitting in traffic. Adding on traffic & lights, I came to around just over 2 gal, so about $12 a day just to go to and from work. My commute takes about 80-100 minutes to and from work

Bike-Light Rail-Bike: I have an e-bike I can borrow. I would have to bike about 20-30 minutes to the Folsom station, ride 1 hour to the end of the Gold Line at Sac Valley Station, then bike another 30-40 minutes, depending on the route. One way Light Rail fare is $2.50, so $5 total for the day. Total commute would be around 4 hours, if Light Rail is running smoothly

I have to be at work by 8am, and I'm out the door usually around 4:30pm. Do you think it's worth with?

Looking for recommendations on THE BEST Detroit pizza in Sacramento. My favorite used to be the touchstone deep dish before the chef left and they switched recipes. Haven’t had anything like it since. And it was favorite dinner by far. Thank you in advance!

I have a job offer in sac with starting salary of $170k my wife and I are young parents with two little ones (6yo and 2yo) I make the same pay in Tulare county right now which is lucky wages around here. Wife is SAHM and would like to have the luxury of keeping it that way at least while our youngest is not in school.

We are under 30 and despite rapid career growth, it’s been a decent financial struggle (was making minimum wage 6 years ago). We don’t have a whole lot saved up.

Rent here for a 3b2 home is 1900 per month in the best school district. Seems like comparable rent out there for school district and home size will require a 1k premium.

Then there is the home buying goal. You can buy a home in Tulare County in the 300k range still and be generally fine with the purchase. New homes start at 400k. Meanwhile in Sac, it seems like there is a +200k -300 premium.

We have lived in and love the Bay Area which is what makes Sacramento appealing. I just feel crazy for even bothering to try. It feels like I should just accept that I am living in the last frontier of California home affordability and hold it down in Tulare county. My oldest is already six!! What would you do??

For the record, Tulare County is in between Fresno and Bakersfield. Strong ag industry, lots of Mexican culture. Hot, dusty, but it is home. Sequoia national park to the east. Very pretty but not accessible the way Tahoe is.

Shopping around for a vet, we’ve gone to Pet Food Express for vaccines as well as Broadway. One has been pricey, the other is quick service. Anybody have recommendations for a vet? This week my 5 year old doggo started coughing after playing catch and coughs at night when she plays hard. After googling, it sounds like heart issues, kennel cough etc ruled out since she’s not around any other pets.

if you live in midtown and hear a really loud old truck that‘s white with a thin red stripe and a silver tool box it’s two teen/early 20s boys stealing stuff

Everyday the cost of living in California continues to skyrocket, and our pay as public employees continues to be inadequate. To me it seems obvious that California's leaders have continued to prioritize their own gain over the greater good of the public and those who serve the public.

Every all-employee meeting we have the same question about pay disparity comes up. Our leaders respond in the same way in that they agree its wrong, but then turn around and do nothing. At minimum our leaders could publicly acknowledge the disparity and show their support, be present with the union bargaining and genuinely stand with us, but it seems that none of our leaders want to stick their neck out to show their support, or they are just disingenuous and continue to placate us.

Years ago you could afford a nice single family home on a single teacher's salary in California, now 2 state employees combined income is a far cry from home ownership, or just keeping up on your bills and cost of living.

At what point do we stop waiting for leadership to care enough to help, and we organize to show our frustration publicly?

EDIT: Yes, I understand there is a no strike clause in the contract, but the union can strike due to impasse.

I’m genuinely looking for a place to get a proper back massage because my back is simply DYING. And I know it’s funny to say

*”haha he just wants to get a happy ending.”*

I don’t. I really don’t. I just want to get this tension out of my body so I can actually sleep somewhat peacefully. Any recommendations?

They just closed 15L.

Burgers and Brew is closed. Famous Famiglia is closed. Esquire Grill is closed. Vino is closed. Starbucks is closed. Pete's is closed.

All that's open is West Coast Sourdough, Sidewalk Juice, and Wendys.

From what I can tell there isn't a single place to get a beer before your flight in terminal B.

Who's bright idea was to renovate all the restaurants at the same time?

I have some women's clothing and backpacks and unworn socks, I'd rather not donate to goodwill or other corporations though

wondering if there are any good pubs, bars, breweries where you can bring in outside food (like a Corti Bro's sandwich) that are in the grid area?

on top of that -- where is the best spot to eat a Corti Bro's sandwich (other than your own home)?

Has anyone lived there and did you guys like it ?

WHAT WAS THAT BOOM? 🤯 💥
