A blog about the economy and the Sacramento-area real estate market.

My colleague Dan Weintraub kicked off a new "Conversations" feature today with a knockout California Forum on how the Sacramento region ought to grow in decades to come.

Urban theorist and author Joel Kotkin weighs in with broad support for the suburbs, saying that a single-family lifestyle for middle-class families is what Sacramento has always been about - and what's made it so strong over the years.

Weintraub has also tapped some other viewpoints that argue for greater population density (more people in less space and more emphasis on the urban core).  Click on the conversations link above for a chance to offer your own view.

 As a growth watcher, always fascinated by these questions, I found it an excellent reading and a great kickoff to this weekly Sunday series.
