Part of the multilayered problem with the shyt on Sac threads is that it's constantly compared to LA and The Bay, rather than cities within or close to its weight class...
Sacramento has the 20th largest media market in the United States. It's not a small city, and objectively it's not even a medium sized city. There's only 19 larger markets nationally. It's a large American city, it just isn't a super large region like LA or The Bay...
Sacramento has the 25th largest CSA, 25th largest urban area, 28th largest MSA, and 35th largest city population in the United States. The city population is irrelevant though, Sacramento has more people in its city limits than Atlanta and Miami but we know those are bigger cities than Sacramento...
So if you average its placements out Sacramento is average ranked 26.6; it's 24.5 if you leave out city limit populations...
I've been all over this fukking country, I could easily make the argument Sacramento is a Top 25 city...
And unlike "The Bay", Sacramento is a standalone city that has always carried its own weight and been the primary city of its own large region. "The Bay" is a conglomerate of suburbs surrounding one alpha city, literally every single other place there grew its existence off the strength of San Francisco. That's not hyperbole, that's a historical fact. Bay industry and movement and money came from SF, and its quite an overrated place...
San Francisco was much better when it was actually welcoming to black people, it's now just as overrated as everywhere else there...
Nationally, cities within Sacramento's weight class that are it's actual peers are:
San Jose, Nashville, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Columbus, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Austin, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Antonio, Charlotte, Orlando, St Louis, Baltimore
And if you compare Sac to cities within its actual weight class it comes out nowhere near the bottom of this list. But what all these cities have in common is they are all the largest or 2nd largest cities in their states, except the 3 Ohio cities which are all around the same size and Austin and SA which are basically tied for #3...
Sacramento is the 4th largest Cali region after LA, The Bay, and SD. This effects perception when people are talking about the biggest city in a state or there's 3 or 4 other cities you can put in front of a city...
Theres no way this board is supposedly mostly black posters and yall say Sac us worse than The Bay. There's no way anyone has spent time in both San Francisco and Sacramento and come away thinking San Francisco is a superior city for Black people...
You nikkas just be saying anything...
SF is easily more WOAT than Sac, though it's a GOAT city if you're wealthy or gay or are one of these blacks who prefers more nonblack people to black people...
Just off the strength of this alone SF is more WOAT and among the worst California Cities. Oakland is trending there, and SJ is same boat as SF...
The rest of them Bay "cities" are sprawling suburbs, but to each it's own. I'd rather live in an actual city with its own cultural footprint than the daisy chain of places whose only relevance is that they are "The Bay"...

This the type shyt that trip me out...Sac is a WOAT Cali city. All those central valley cities are meth havens.
I'm still a Kings fan tho
Low cost of living and proximity to the Bay are the only benefits to living there.

Rochester is actually really cool but it's less than half the size of Sacramento, this isn't a comparable analogy. Sacramento is a bigger city than Rochester and Buffalo combined...Sacramento got zero bytches
It’s the equivalent to going to Rochester NY
its pretty widely known Sacramento has a high amount of bad bytches 
I don't know if they still have em but there used to be tournaments at Valley Hi park, my brother's dad used to hoop with Rae Carruth in the street ball tourneys...
