I grew up in Northern CA (not the bay area keep going north). Sacramento isn't bad. My sister lives there and likes it. It's close to the bay area and the sierra's.

Reno was the closest city to us growing up. It's grown a lot in the last few years with a lot of new business and developments. Yes they lost the casino wars but then we never really went to any of the casino's anyway. It's pretty affordable and traffic isn't bad. And it is the "Biggest Little City in the World".
