The city got that way thanks in part to affordable real estate for middle-class households (the black population has dropped in the Bay Area but increased in Sacramento over the past 10 years) as well as innovative housing programs for low-income families.

He placed the gun back into its holster, yanked me out of the dirt, and then, in a moment of sublime surrealism, looked across to the bay, and said: "Beautiful, no?" Though sweat?or perhaps tears?stung my eyes and clouded my vision, I nodded in agreement. A crumbling Portuguese fort?a remnant from the 400 years Timor spent under Lisbon's rule?presided over a perfect, white sand beach, complete with palms leaning lazily toward the clear waters. In another time, the scene could have been described as idyllic. But at that...
