Homeless in California...
#14192282 - 03/27/11 01:25 PM (12 years, 10 months ago) |

so ive been thinking about moving to sac town for a little while now...
ive been living up in humboldt for the winter, but come may 1st i wont have a place to live anymore. plus i want to get out of humboldt anyway. to rainy and not enough sun for me.
i might have to be homeless for about a month when i arrive, but at least it will be mid spring...
so my question for anyone here from sac, is where would be the best area to be if i didnt have a place to stay right away?
ill be able to get up on my feet once im there, but ill be spending most of my money to get there so when i arrive, im not going to have enough right away for an apartment/room and ill have nowhere to stay for about a month.
any help at all would be greatly appreciated. thanks all.

I was checking out Sac town because I'm thinking of going to Davis.
The suburbs are supposedly nice. (Rocklin, Roseville, Folsom, etc. etc.)
And out of the central valley, Sac's supposedly the best, least tweakerish place. 
I know nicechrisman lived there for a bit, but his opinion of the place is skewed IMO. He saw a lot of the ugly sides-- which I think you get in any sizable city.

Nothing to do, lots of weed shops.
Davis has a better culture

something i should mention also is that i dont have a car, so im trying to find an area where there is plenty of public transit.
are there any places in Davis i could chill while i was homeless, until i got back up on my feet? like good parks where i wouldnt get kicked out for sleeping there or whatever...

Hm that I dont know. There are more bikes in davis than cars but its a small town so going outside of it will be difficult.
Sac is full of homeless, they camp along the river and such (not such a good idea now since their flooded)
Public Transit in Sac is horrendous, expensive and very limited, busses stop at 9pm

hmmm. well i appreciate the help and information so far...
basically this summer im going to be a "drifter" for awhile and need to find a decent place where i wont be cold at night if i have to sleep outside and somewhere where the cops wont hassle me. it wont be a permanent thing, but its gonna take me a month or two to get back on my feet.
i guess ill end up wherever life takes me either way. just trying to plan things out the best i can before hand, but either way ive gotta go. cant stay here.

I live in Citrus Heights and honestly I would much rather live in a town than Sacramento. I feel like there's more to do in the small towns than in Sac. Sacramento just seems like a antique city to me, not much to do in my opinion. Or maybe i'm all wrong becuase I don't go there much. Check out Citrus Heights, orangevale, or antelope.

Auburn ftw, oh wait no real public transit and 20-30 miles away from all the shows and shit.
But Auburn kicks ass if you have a car. So many rivers so many trails so many other things all out doors.

SACREMENTO SUCKS
DON"T GO THERE PLEASE
San Francisco, Greater Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, ANYWHERE in the bay area (for most part) are all better than sacremento.
It's hickville, hot as shit, state capital. You will hate it there.
