Yeah, that's something else to consider. Sometimes it's faster to take 
Amtrak than it is to drive. Scary if you have to get to the data center 
in any sort of a hurry...
Not much for nightlife, but if you're downtown and want to start a "pub 
crawl" - couldn't be easier.

There's also the nice big Government installations in the area. Lots of 
fiber.

RagingWire also seems to be pretty stable.. unlike Relera and Inflow, 
which packed up and left the area.

Anywhere you go in California, you're going to run into a fault line. 
The Sacramento area is fairly stable one as far as that's concerned.
RagingWire is also *not* located in a flood plain - it's not too far 
outside of the downtown area.

There's even a Fry's Electronics not too far if you *really* need some 
spare parts!

(I may be preaching to the choir, here.. forgive me if I am.)

Subset of lanset.net, if I recall correctly. Interesting folks.
