Sacramento:
It’s rather ironic that I’m beginning a trip to visit places I’ve never been and have always admired from a distance - with a stop in a place I’ve spent excessive amounts of time and have never actually wanted to be.
I’ve always hated this town. It’s a dirty hole, and I have always had the strong sensation that people only live here because they were born here or work here. That’s never a good reason to live somewhere. It kind of goes beyond my whole trip idea - where people ought to stay put a little because they have family, foundation and grounding somewhere. See, in Sacramento, most of the young exec class doesn’t have family here either. They actually move here from someplace - often, undoubtedly, someplace better. So I’ll look for happy, smiling faces around me… and I’ll let you know when I find one.

I took a look online to see what people said was the worst thing about Sacramento.
Here’s what locals said:
They say the air pollution and the pollen is so bad that allergy season is all year round.
Others said the 100-plus heat on every summer day, beating down on the concrete streets and congested bridges was the worst.
A blogger named Bergamot on Suckramento.com summed it up nicely:
""Not being Detroit" doesn't count (as a positive trait). The worst thing about Sacramento is and always has been the people…. People who don’t want to be here”
Maybe we can call it, the “Vanilla capitol complex”
