Superiority Complex/Parks & Rec. division; Had an amazing year as a basketball coach in 2020. Amazing meaning parents & children. Although, we got the worst practice balls in the league. I bought all new balls for my children. My team became undefeated until a disagreement took place between me and the supervisor. He made it his duty to ref my last two games: "because nobody goes undefeated in the City of Davis!" My children wanted to know why but I couldn't give them the obvious. The league gives certificates, I bought trophies. 2023: I decide to coach again. I wasn't given a full rosters as the other teams had but at least we had decent balls right! City of Davis is a place for young refs and coaches. I watch them cheat for one another. Very disgusting behavior. Coaches were teaching their kids violence this year in which I brought to supervision and they did nothing. If it were my children providing the abuse, as a coach I possibly would have been punished severely. I reffed as well, bridging the gap between right and wrong. My soul was so troubled by the "cheating" I seen. I was asked to work a summer camp via email which I confirmed. "New management" said we'll be starting in a few weeks. Almost a month goes by and I hear nothing. I contacted this person and management said my email fell through the cracks??? Weird! My availability was questioned. Dude, I'm available... Once gain someone acting as if I'm illiterate. So they schedule me one week but the camp is a month long with the same coaches??? I said I'll just work the week and be done. No! I started receiving updated schedules to my email and they know I don't work! That's unprofessional! I said enough is enough and sent an email back. The response I got was very far from the truth, repetitive lies and trying to dig themselves out. City of Davis narrates BLM as a cover up from controversy. My experience in this city has been quite the opposite. I remember going into the City office to get my check and was asked, "weren't you just here!" No, we don't all look alike. Pathetic

The City of Davis and I have had quite a history in a chunk of my adult working life. I never lived or went to school here. I worked here from 2011 to 2015. It was different then in both the good and bad of it. At the time, I didn't like Davis.. and I really hated the commute from Sac those 4 years. It was more bicycle friendly- so moving around to shop or eat, or go to a park for a lunch time walk was a lot more of a breeze. It even had a sign on Richards Blvd off I-80 going into town about Davis being the bicycle capital of the world (I'm paraphrasing, but, something to that effect) Road Traffic in Davis was minimal. It was always a fun place to grab some food. I will always give David credit for the variety of restaurants here! Fast forward to 2023...I absolutely adore Davis! I drop in from time to time to eat or stop by Trader Joe's for pure nostalgia. LOL. I remember getting around most of Davis pretty well without GPS. Absolutely hate the road traffic! There's cars EVERYWHERE!! Funny how time changes things. LOL.

The town is stunning, the law enforcement and town officials (including yolo county) are lacking.

My kids come for the university and I come here for the food and farmers market! Davis is a welcoming college town! Don't have any kids in college? Doesn't matter, there are plenty of things to do - parks, farmers markets, trendy restaurants, and shops! Always something to do!

This little place is pretty nice. Now I have to be pandemic you can now eat outside of course here there are the tents for most restaurants but be aware sometimes parking is horrible. You Gotta make sure you find a spot and keep it. You can pretty much walk to every location that you need. So find a parking spot and it is easy to just hit everything you want some food and some broom and beer and fun. There are nice record stores out here, also there is comic book store, and I can't wait until other places that have previously close finally decide to re-open up. Such as the whiskey bar. I've been waiting for that place to open back up for a while. It looks like they will. Traffic coming out here sometimes is hectic but there are multiple exit and ways to get around it as well. Also make sure you check out the thrift store and support the local ASPCA. Of course this is a college town so there are a lot of young people but this is a place for everybody to show their support for the local community in a place of course to chill and relax as well. You can also bring your family to some places and find what you need as well.

I have been visiting Davis California ever since my best friend in high school started going there for college, around 2010. Coincidentally, my brother lives there now, and is raising his 2 kids in a neighborhood in central Davis. This city is amazing. It's a university town of course, but more than that, it is a great suburb of Sacramento. There is a hustling bustling safe downtown area, where you could spend days listening to free live music, eating at amazing restaurants, and going to all kinds of festivals, like Picnic Day! Don't forget to stop by the Davis Food Co-op. It's a wonder to behold. The arboretum is beautiful and huge! Way nicer than any arboretum I have been to before. Great for hikes and Pokemon Go walks. The Mondavi center is really cool too. They have concerts, plays, lectures, etc. Even my 4 year-old niece loves talking about her adventures at the Mondavi Center! More than all this though, Davis is a city of environmentally conscious people, who care a lot about the town they live in. It is a great place to live and raise a family. I look forward to all the adventures I get to have when I am here.

LIVE HERE AGAIN? Yes, of course. Great place to live but lately the City has done a terrible job at infrastructure work. Covell overpass, Mace Blvd., L Street, Grande St repaving - all have been done poorly.

Me and my husband move to Davis from Louisiana in August 2018. Though moving from one place to another is really hectic but he was in mid of his PhD so he had opt to move to Davis as his mentor is also moving to Uc Davis. The best part after moving to Davis is we get a affordable student housing. Beside this all I was also expecting a baby. We start exploring this city. Davis is really managed city and beautiful too. Spending evening walk in the Davis downtown is amazing experience. Shops and houses are well managed here. The best part of city of Davis is that it theft stores where one can get good household items at very reasonable prices. Also even in our community we receive lot of donations ( household items and even free farm fares) . Davis is beautifully decorated with pride color of nature. Agriculture is also done here in plenty. One can see lot of farms around. Living in Davis is like living in pollution free city. Also it is among 50 safest cities in California.

I grew up in Davis, it's a great place to raise kids, the beautiful bike trails throughout the town are amazing! I love that people all ages get out and see the town walking and biking, etc. My only two complaints are it's VERY expensive to live and it's still not very diverse. But all in all I do and always will love my little quint town of Davis, CA

Yes......I am aware of the tragic death of officer Corona. May she rest in peace. My heart and prayers go out to her family. A cowardly act is an understatement. Mental illness, no......just a coward. Nothing more....let's not give this guy an out. He was simply a coward. Davis will mourn the officers passing and hopefully never have to go through an event like this again. Be safe out there officers

Davis is a great city, full of diversity, intelligent people from all over the world. It has a great university, which adds so much to the community. It is the most bicycle-friendly city in the nation. It has the first community based solar energy projects. Front yard organic gardens are common. And, we hate Trump.

Davis is a really pretty and small college town. At night it's really nice and quiet. Most people here are really friendly and take their time to greet one another. Downtown Davis is really fun to walk around at and visit the different vendors. Kids are out playing in the streets and parks, it's a wonderful community.
