Re “Sactopia: What if Sacramento seceded from the nation”(SN&R Local Stories, July 3):
I truly enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek
article. It was a great article highlighting the kumbayah spirit
that makes up what is seen as the 'real' Sacramento by the editors
and staff of this newspaper as opposed to the harsh realities faced
by most of its citizens. This spirit is further highlighted by the
story in the same edition's News section “Passed Over”(by Dave Kampa).
Instead
of reporting with cold facts, the writer and us readers would be
better served if the writer had taken a few days and 'walked the
walk' instead of just 'talking the talk'. That is, live as a
homeless person would and provide a first-hand account.
Also it would be great if SN&R would dedicate an edition to talking about solutions to the problems: homelessness, gang violence, drug abuse, etc. and getting those possible solutions put into effect instead of merely just talking about how terrible the problems are.
