Does anyone care
I work in Downtown Davis. The locals are the absolute best and the UC Davis students are always so much fun. I mean wow what a wonderful community we have. However, lately I haven’t felt safe. Last Saturday at 7:45 a man followed a friend of mine to a small business that closed at 8. The man waited an hour even went inside but was asked to leave by the store owner. The store owner let my friend stay till the close was clear. This is just one story I have at least 3 more from last week alone of how store owners in Downtown have stepped up to keep us safe. In my personal opinion it is these store owners who are keeping us safe. Not the city of Davis. I just found out that several of these businesses had their windows smashed in on E st. It saddens me to the core to see this. These events are not new and I am concerned that yet again these issues will be ignored. I don’t know if you have noticed but many down town shops have closed. What will Davis look like without them, where will many of us work? Do you feel safe here in Davis?
