Although annexing the "Fruitridge-Florin Finger" (down to Elk Grove city limits), Arden-Arcade, and the "Natomas-Robla Panhandle", would be sensible ideas.

I say within the decade because the those areas (South Sacramento, Arden) will continue to decline due to lack of resources, regulation and suburban flight to urban environments until it's untenable not to annex them and clean them up. Arden might finally form it's own city but look show shitty most of South Sacramento is right now and imagine what it's going to look like in 10 years with zero investment while places within city limits gets all of the development/gentrification such as Midtown, Oak Park, Curtis Park, and even suburban areas such as Natomas and Delta shore. There is NOTHING happening in unincorporated South Sacramento except decay. The county of Sacramento doesn't have the tools or the same resources an incorporated city does do to any of that.
