Good and Bad

I lived there for 3 years while in college (about 3 years ago). It's a big city with unbelievably awful traffic. It takes 30 minutes to drive 4 miles down the road in some parts of Sacramento. The summers are unbareably hot reaching over 100 degrees on many days. Being that it is dry heat (which I was not used to being raised on the East coast) does not make it more bareable. During the summers I did not want to spend long outside due to the heat and constantly felt like I needed to drink water and carry lotion with me because my skin felt SO dry (and I don't have dry skin). BUT the people were very friendly and down-to-earth. I have lived a lot of places and I would have to say the people in Sacramento were probably the nicest most normal people I met anywhere.
