A New Urban Vision
It's time to take another look at Sacramento's central city

Commercial Role
Truckee's economy can't survive on homebuilding alone
When boom went bust in Truckee, the mountain town wasn’t left empty-handed. Everywhere you look are reminders of the high times in the ski town’s real estate market — not only new homes, but new trails, a community center, a new middle school and affordable housing; the list goes on.
