[Talk-us] what happened to Sacramento?

I have been fixing up boundaries of cities in California and I have
found something odd.

Where is the city of Sacramento?

There is a city there. There is a county. The county boundaries are at
http://openstreetmap.org/relation/396460 and that all looks good. And
it is not a county/city hybrid thing like San Francisco. Yes? And I can
find the cities of West Sacramento, Rancho Cordova and others nearby,
But I cannot find boundaries for the actual city of Sacramento. Google
has boundaries for it, but OSM does not?

Or is there some way I should be finding it that I am not doing? I
guess it could be mis-spelled.

I am going to the area around the county in
http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and doing this search:

[out:json][timeout:360];
(
relation["name"="Sacramento"]({{bbox}});
way["name"="Sacramento"]({{bbox}});
node["name"="Sacramento"]({{bbox}});
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

It finds lot of stuff, but no city. Any ideas?

cheers - ray
