Life in dA hOOD!​

The Grove knows how to roll!


Read what Black Woman Blogging (an African American female attorney) had to say about Elk Grove and why she found it necessary to move to western Placer County (Roseville / Rocklin). Elk Grove was too ghetto for her.

Elk Grove was touted as one of the fastest growing cities during the housing boom. Here’s why: San Francisco Bay Area homes have always been more expensive than Sacramento area homes on average, no matter where those Bay Area homes were located. Elk Grove, a formerly sleepy bedroom suburb and, before that, a dairy farming community, was undergoing a construction boom.

The newly constructed houses built in Elk Grove in the run-up to the housing bubble were initially priced for the lower-priced Sacramento market, not the Bay Area market.

Result?

Folks in the ghetto in the Bay Area were able to sell their homes and buy one, and sometimes two, new homes in Elk Grove. Some of them lived in the homes, some rented them out. And many of them brought the ghetto with them. As the boom roared on, even folks in the ghetto in South Sacramento, with the assistance of shady lenders and real estate agents, were able to buy newly constructed homes costing ten times or more than annual salaries. BMNB and I didn’t know this when we rented a newly constructed home in Elk Grove in 2005 and again in 2007.

We were foolish enough to believe that new construction could not equal ghetto.

Well, it can.

We found out the hard way.

What do I mean by “ghetto” and “bringing the ghetto with you”? Well, here are some examples:.........

All of these things happened to us or near us in Elk Grove. For the life of me I could not understand why folks would move to the suburbs only to bring the ghetto with them.
