Sacramento is basically like the SFV region of LA. Lotta people don't even realize a good portion of the SFV is actually LA city neighborhoods, but I digress...

I have fam in Pacoima and Van Nuys and those areas always reminded me of Sac with the layout, build, architecture, banging. You could even say Sac looks like Pasadena....Sac has a more suburban nature than most of the city of LA, so you can get the vibe that you're in an outer LA neighborhood or suburb...

Sac uses a lot of Bay slang and takes a lot of cultural influence from the Bay...but Sac also has it's own culture and is the center of the Central Valley, which has 5 million people in it's own right. My city crazy underrated...

You tripping too, there is way, way, way more of a black presence and culture in LA...

@Ashley Banks you from Oakland?



You're tripping again, way more opportunities for blacks in LA than the Bay, period. Nobody black has the Bay as a top option unless they have relatives there. And you named the racist ass tech industry lmao, they are widely recognized for marginalizing the opportunities blacks in tech have----->so the black tech talent instead gets filtered to the East Coast and the South, whereas otherwise The Bay could entice them...

Your thread has a great premise but you forgot to mention how racist The Bay is, it's just glossed over in comparison to LA...

Yea that's what I've been reading :francis:

I thought that movie Blindspotting was dope. A cool little glimpse into Oakland for those who've never been

Nah, that's the goofy hypebeast version of us. Lot's of people are like that out here, including native borns, but I personally find them to be corny. I do find our inclusiveness to be one of our biggest strengths though. Everybody out here does dirt and fukks with each other haha

OP is a jobless bum that learns everything he knows from the internet, he will accept anything he reads on here as facts, then go in another thread and regurgitate what he read as knowledge

Bay Area
From someone from the bay, I’ll say that the bay is changing for the worst, but there’s still pockets of Bay Area culture around there if you grew up there and know people/spots. The hustlers mindset is big here, and we party animals. Bay Area people always make parties hype because we actually dance and don’t mean mug on the wall.

For LA, it’s very superficial. People are fake with you, and do things for rep/clout/etc. but don’t get it twisted, there’s a bunch of real ones there, especially in the hood, but they still be on some boujie shyt, and will live beyond their means to keep up with the trends. Go to the affluent areas are located, and it’s a bunch of fake people who are rich, or at least keeping up the look of being rich. Traffic is trash, weather is amazing, and women are high maintenance, but bad as fukk. That’s expected because of Hollywood.

If you could put Bay Area people in the so cal setting, it would be the best place to live.

P.S. - (All of this is just from my personal experiences, so excuse me for typing in absolutes)

Everything you just said typifies Bay culture too, and I'd argue even more so. But I can dig your perspective, though!
