I had today off. I ended up working anyways. I headed over the freeway to South Natomas with three South Natomas residents, including District 1 city council hopeful John Dahilig. We spent a good three hours video-interviewing anyone who would talk to us, from the Natomas High area to the [...]

Is there a relationship between low income housing and crime in Natomas? Speak for yourself!
By Joe • Aug 2nd, 2008 |Low income housing in North Natomas is finally the talk of the town — at least for a few minutes. Guess it pays to be a squeaky wheel after all.

Also, it seems truancy rates can mean different things by region, but I think we can all agree what they mean in Natomas given the well documented crime issues and delinquency problems.

By Joe • Jul 18th, 2008 |Updated Saturday, July 19. In what is perhaps the most violent summer in Natomas history, two MORE violent crimes have been reported by Natomas victims, both committed early yesterday morning.
