When Sacramento voters approved Measure L in November 2022, Inside Sacramento columnists Bob Graswich and Jeff Harris were openly skeptical and opposed the measure.

Investing in young people is a good idea. But Measure L didn’t create a program. It established a permanent financial pipeline, locking 40% of the city’s cannabis business tax into a new fund, the Sacramento Children’s Fund, largely distributed through nonprofit service providers.

The measure promised youth violence prevention, mental health services, homelessness support, substance-abuse programs and early childhood investments.

Here was a great deal for someone tired of paying rent in Land Park. New Benson and Sedar homes with atrium entries, double master suites and oak cabinetry, starting at $85,900. A 30-year mortgage fixed at 11.9%. That’s how banks got rich in 1982.

Say goodbye to landlords. Move 4 miles down Riverside Boulevard and own a piece of the dream. Welcome to Greenhaven Pocket.

I missed my chance. When I bought a house in Pocket in 1990—three bedrooms, two baths, built six years earlier by Winncrest—prices had skyrocketed. I paid $183,000. Soon after escrow closed, recession hit. The home instantly lost value.
