The Sacramento Chapter of Hell's Procyons are notorious rebel rousers with links to the South American and Southern Central American Coati and Cacomistle cartels. The goody twoshoes life of their San Franciscan surburbanite cousins is not their bag.

Greek, Tupi, and Portuguese all in one paragraph! Well done! 😃

I've lived in Sacramento my whole life (so far) and "The Lake" is never Folsom Lake, it's Tahoe, and "The City" is never Sacramento, it'San Francisco. I dated a girl from The City once whose only knowledge of Sacramento was "it's a hot place, right?"
 
This thread is hilarious. I got a buddy that lived in sac and yeah it gets a tad warmer there…;). He grew up in Bridgeport that is freezing cold in the winter and now he lives in Fresno. Super hot there. He cools his pool with blocks of ice…says he doesn’t miss the snow tho. Great spot you fellas have here btw.
I think this is how they treat the raccoons all too often…D361C1CA-76CF-4ED0-8150-E6D691891AB5.jpeg

If you like city life, I'm sure San Francisco would be a perfect place to live... great weather and the bay is pretty.
I prefer small towns. I grew up in Davis, then when I got married I moved to Loomis... just over 6,000 people... Still want smaller, thinking of Meadow Vista, 3,500 people.

I grew up in Detroit metro. Kept moving to smaller towns until I got to one without a red light. Then moved a couple of miles outside of it (the suburbs :p)

When I was a kid we moved from a town of 3,500 to a town of 6,500. I thought we moved to the big city! Like you Mike, we lived a few miles out in the suburbs on the lake, and I’m still here! 😂

Lol... 🤣
I wouldn't trade small town life for anything.
 
My town has about 1900 people in it and our country has about 10,000 people in it including the town folk. We have one blinking red light in town but that's a negative sometimes because people are so polite, they wait until someone else goes before they go which could make for a long wait at times before it's your time to go. Five vehicles at the blinking red light is considered a traffic jam here.

One plus about being remote is that I can take my shotgun and go out back of the house and jump jackrabbits and squirrels without anyone making a panic call to the Sheriff's Office about hearing gun shots. Not too long ago, when in season, I'd get a couple three cotton tailed rabbits and we'd have rabbit stew for dinner but alas, my knees and ankle suffer quite a bit now-a-days and I haven't been doing any type of hunting anywhere for awhile although I keep a 12 ga. next to my desk for unanticipated happenings, bumps in the night, and rattle snakes in the yard.

One of my best friends moved to California from Ohio twenty years ago. His is 88 miles from my front door in the city where I’m trapped. He lives on 20 acres surrounded by not much of anything and works as a pro hunt dog trainer. I hunt cottontails there sometimes…used to more often. Was not uncommon to limit five after an hour and a short walk. They attack his water lines for trees. He uses them for drags dog training tracking scent to hunt dead game. Eats them sometimes. I like to do the brine the buttermilk soak and fry em up. He gets a lot of quail and doves coyotes there too.
Loads of fun.

I can't see any houses from any direction, just forest all around my back yard. Hard to imagine it any other way. And gunshots going off at any hour of day or night is perfectly common around here, lots of varmints that need to be taken care of. 😅

Lot of variety in this country. Find a place that makes you happy and stay there!
