Nobody wants to be LA or NY. We just want Sacramento to have a better urban core. And the last 8-10 years, space available and bail bonds signs have dominated that end of town.

It motivated me to sell my District 8 house and move back downtown. I live 2 blocks from the proposed site at 600 K street. There's already a lot happening in terms of property transactions and proposals just because people trust the ESC is finally going to happen. But in truth we will only get one crack at this and that's why we need to get it right. An iconic project that is yet uniquely Sacramento and open up to the surrounding area.
