America’s Finest City Impresses Sacramento City Councilman

Sacramento City Councilman Kevin McCarty came to San Diego recently to tour downtown with a contingent of civic leaders, developers and restaurateurs.

“I was very, very impressed,” said McCarty after his return. “We walked away saying that, ‘If we can do one-fifth of what they’re doing in San Diego in Sacramento, we would be very pleased.’ ”

McCarty said he was especially impressed with the idea of having a master plan for downtown development.

“It can streamline projects,” said McCarty, who considers his own city’s downtown about four or five years behind San Diego’s. “We’ll take a look at that in Sacramento.”

McCarty said he also was encouraged by his visits to some of the downtown sales offices.

“They’re going strong,” he said. “By seeing that, it gave us a lot of optimism. Even though there is a slowdown, downtown still is a hot commodity.”
