People that don't live here think sacramento is the dream city.They see it as the heart of California. Sacramento is known for its huge basketball stadium and beautiful downtown. What i like the most about my city is the bodies of water, they are so relaxing when your on the freeway driving past and just see the water sparkling. We’re also famous for how diverse we are we have a wide range of every ethnicity this is probably why we are so different from other cities. One thing people that haven't been here think the sun is our best friend, it is not it gets so hot out here you will burn if you stand in one spot too long. We only get 100 days of rain that's 265 days of straight heat.
Yeah I wish my city was like that, truth is this murder capitol people are constantly dying from teens to babies it’s like a war zone out here. My neighbor hood is Meadowview located in South Sacramento this is where all the gangbangers, drug dealers, and homeless people are. Everyone out here is just trying to survive and make it out the trenches. Due to this home invasions, robberies, and murders happen, everyone is money hungry. I think living here is like a dark lonely place, nobody sees what the world has to offer all we see is people dying and our “big homies” making illegal money so they think that is all there is in the world. I just want to get my loved ones and I out of this hell hole the first chance i get and never come back.
A real big problem we are facing is poverty every corner you turn you will see a group of homeless people. I help when i can but this is a problem the mayor needs to fix. We are also in the top 10 in the country for human trafficking, you might not see it but it’s happening. People of my community face getting shot every time they step foot outside. People should be more aware of the gun violence and gang wars going on. My city is a hell hole we’re all like fish trying to survive in a shark tank.
