Very rarely do you hear people use Arcade when referencing this area, it's almost exclusively Arden or Sacramento. Most of the people that live in Arden think they live in Sacramento, even though most of them technically don't. There's no real boundary between Arden and Sacramento, just like there's no real boundary between Sacramento and South Sacramento, or Florin, or Rosemont, or any of a number of other places that consider themselves to be part of Sacramento but lie just outside of the city limits.
I think Arden-Arcade which is just an awful name and all of these other communities that already use Sacramento as their address and have for decades, should all be annexed into the City of Sacramento as well. In fact, I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with this and especially people who live in Carmichael, but why doesn't the city attempt to extend the borders out to the max and end all of the unincorporated stuff once and for all?
Would it be too far beyond the stretch of the imagination for the city limits to look something like: North: Sacramento County line, extending east until the Citrus Heights city limit; would include Rio Linda, Elverta, North Highlands, Antelope, and Foothill Farms plus the remainder of North Natomas out past the airport and everything in between. Nearly all of these places already use Sacramento as their address with a few exceptions.
Does this sound ridiculous or does this make any sense? Yes the city would take on a lot of new residents in existing neighborhoods, but the city would also have complete control over what happens in these areas would could be beneficial to planning out the future of our city.
