One that lives well in the World is better than he that lives in a monastery. When moving to a new city, affordability and jobs are usually the number one indicators of if the location will be a good match or not. Sacramento, California is undergoing much expansion, in hope is becoming a “World Class City.” However, many people who currently live in Sacrament, California are struggling to get by and are concerned if they will still able to afford to eat and pay rent or the mortgage after the new King’s Coliseum, high rises, and other new amenities are completed? These new amenities are expected to drive up property values, which means it will be more expensive to buy and rent. This scared people because the economy is not exactly healthy, and there is no talk of new corporations moving to Sacramento, California, so there is an assumption that the new development will be to attract people from other parts of the state, country and World.

Not only that, but 25 percent of the jobs in Sacramento are retail and customer service, which pay minimum wage and the minimum wage in California is expected to be $12.50 by 2020, which is extremely low. Sacramento, California also has an unemployment rate of 6 percent, while the national unemployment rate is 5.1 percent. A one bed room apartment in the Capitol city of California goes for about $975.00 a month. The Median home value is $272,500.00 to $429,700.00. By 1 January 2015 the minimum wage in Sacramento, California will increase to $9.00 an hour. That means someone who has a minimum wage job, which is 25 percent of the city, will take home a net of $1,400.00. So these people do not even qualify to rent a one bed room apartment in Sacramento, California.

And those making $50,655.00, generally have a mortgage of at least $1,800.00 a month, which means after they pay mortgage, and before taxes, they have $2,421.00 left in their pay check. Car payment and insurance and gasoline is about another $1,200.00 a month, food about $500.00, electric and water about $420.00, leaving the home owner with $301.25, and that is without paying taxes or health insurance. Sacramento is known as a low income city, and if you want it to be a World Class city, World class jobs are required to come here and boost wages. Not only is the Mayor and the city council pricing current residence out of the city, a new arena and high rises are not going to be attractive to potential migrants once they see the wages and cost of living in Sacramento, California, and the lack of jobs. Just years after the L Street lofts were completed, they went to into foreclosure, either due to a lack of interest or because no one could afford to life there.

Society is the best thing we have, but it is a crazy vessel worked by a crew that formerly practice piracy, and now, in expiation, professes piety, fearful of a discovered omnipotence, which is in the image of themselves and the captain. Society will get the better of us unless we get the better of society. Since Mayor Kool Aid Johnson (Kevin Johnson) and his groupies the City Council have been in office, they have spent a record breaking amount of $1 Billion, but Sacramento, California still have low wages, and high unemployment. Not only that, but Sacramento have never seen a politican as scandalous as Mayor Kool Aid Johnson (Kevin Johnson). It is a dreadful feeling that of being cut off from all one’s kind. I do not believe that any one could long retain one’s reason in solitude. One begins doubting one’s own identity.
