The town I grew up in is slowly fading away. The town is overwhelmed with the homeless population and the increase in crime is significant. Up 5% violent crime, up 39% nuisance/homeless trespassing, up 61% homeless encampments, injury collisions up 15% and total collisions up 11%. FPD Annual Report (2021) www.fairfield.ca.gov/annualreport. At some point, there needs to be some accountability by the city government.
Everywhere you go, there's an abundance of trash/debris, businesses closing, cyclone fences everyplace, out of business buildings have boarded up windows due to rocks being thrown at the windows.....on and on....

To me Fairfield is a great place. It is in the center destination between many popular urban cities. You are able to have fun with all sorts of options no farther than an hour away, but are free from the touristy crowds and traffic. Fairfield is peaceful and quiet, and is a great getaway spot with so much to offer. It is one of the most diverse cities in America!
I love living in Fairfield! I enjoy being in the middle of Sacramento, Napa, and the rest of the Bay area. I feel safe in this neighborhood and would recommend people living here. I see a lot of people walking and kids playing in front of their yards. Everyone is friendly and I can honestly say I even feel safe walking in the evening. My neighbors always say, "hello" when I walk by their house and they are outside. The weather is something I do not enjoy sometimes because it gets super hot in the Summertime. I usually stay inside however, the heat comes inside my house. Overall, I love living in such a safe neighborhood!
