Hello SN&R reader!
In this week's cover story, contributor Sasha Abramsky examines a trend that has scores of college graduates returning to Sacramento, moving back in with parents because they can't find jobs in the current economy. What's it like to move back in with mom and dad after all those years out of the nest?! Elsewhere, find SN&R's usual mix of arts, music, opinion and politics.
Happy reading!
