PUBLISHER FROM page 9 Or consider Oak Park, which in its early years was considered one of our city’s nicest neighborhoods. After decades of decline, it started to turn around about 10 years ago, thanks in no small part to Mayor Kevin Johnson’s redevelopment efforts before he won office. Even as Oak Park is rapidly coming into its own, the stigma of the neighborhood’s name is still hard to reverse in some people’s minds. During a community meeting last year regarding McKinley Village, one of the opposition group leaders worried aloud that the development would be another Natomas or South Sacramento and that it would become a “ghetto.” When audience applause followed that remark, I was embarrassed that members of my neighborhood would be so hostile and judgmental. Our editorial mission is to help folks get to know their neighbors and community on a deeper and more meaningful level. Many factors contribute to what makes
each neighborhood definable and recognizable, no matter what the income levels and property values. As we celebrate the Fourth of the July this year, we have charming organized parades in the neighborhoods of East Sac, River Park, Pocket, Arden Arcade and Carmichael, among others. Each one has its unique feel and experience. Neighborhood parades are a wonderful way to connect with neighbors and build positive neighborhood identities. If you’ve never attended your neighborhood parade, by all means do so this year. I consider it a privilege and honor to get to know so many wonderful people from every neighborhood we serve. Granted, there are huge differences in the unique identities of our neighborhoods. But isn’t it worth celebrating that Sacramento has so much diversity in its neighborhoods?
