God damn Sacramento is a piece of shit. You shouldn't encourage people from out of state to move there - will give them a really flawed view of California. Basically stick to the coast unless you want to rub shoulders with the Northern California growers in which case you can move into the Northern Foothills - Basically Chico and up. Coastal cities are LA, San Diego, Santa Cruz, San Fransisco, Berkley, Oakland, Fort Bragg... Don't get stuck anywhere in the Central Valley like Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, Fresno and the like - these are all way too hot, a lot of crime, meth, and full of Hispanic gangs.
