@ this thread.
It's pretty rare that you find EVERYONE who ever lived in a place saying it's a crappy place.
I've never been to Sacramento, but it sounds like it really fucking sucks!

I lived in Auburn for about 20 years of my life, which is about 30 miles east of Sac. I avoided it like the plague.

i know, i never realized how much most people seem to hate sac, lol. it must really suck
ive only been through there once on a road trip, but didnt stop. i thought it looked like a cool city, but after hearing everyone's opinions here, i will make sure to steer clear of that place.
glad i made this thread though because otherwise i would have had to find out the hard way.
definitely wont be going to sacramento.

i was homeless in Santa Cruz for a summer. in the winter its not even that bad, just have a sleeping bag and your set.
have you looked at www.wwoof.org? they can hook you up with organic farms that let you stay at their farm and feed you in exchange for 20 hours a week of work. it only costs about 20 bucks at most, i forget how much, but its not alot, and you get access to contact information for hundreds of farms all over the country, and of course california has the most organic farms of them all. i highly reccomend this over being homeless, as i've done both. while you are at the farm you can keep clean (shower, laundry) and this helps alot in getting hooked into the local community and you can land a job and get on your feet in no time. good luck

Yah I dunno why anyone would wanna live in Sac...thenagain I dont know why anyone would wanna live in SF or Oakland either.
SF is too expensive and overrun by violent agro homebums and gangs who hate travelers. I squatted in Golden Gate park once only to be woken up by cops who told me that there was a homicide where I was sleeping 2 days prior. I was threatened multiple times by agro homebums too.
Oakland is just sketchy crime central in general.

another good thing about the organic farm thing is you can leave the farm at any time and go to another one, because it sounds like you want to wander around a bit

I can't decide if I'd rather be homeless, broke, and nearly miserable, or have a household and become domesticated and stagnant.
Got to be a middle ground.

I was there once, three weeks ago. I got back and put in my resignation from my job. My last day was thursday. Tomorrow I am moving all the shit i've acquired in this world to Sacramento. funny that i see this thread now, less than 24 hours before i go there to live. i'm still hopeful, inspite of what i have read here.

Exactly my thoughts
Is california. You have the whole west coast to be homeless on. You could be sleeping on the beach in Santa Barbara or you could go to SF but your first choice is Sacrameno???
Take advantage of that coast. I mean that's the way I see it. Sleeping on a park bench in sacramento sounds terrible.

Berkeley is pretty bum friendly as well, but maybe a little dirtier than socal though. Bums get more free weed in Berkeley tho
