Living on the edge

This is my neighborhood.

Those apartments are just up the street on Covell. Right across the street is the Cannery and Covell Village properties which were to be developed but the rabid-zero growth NIMBYites in Davis blocked it. Now it's all vacant lots, a great place to run to if you need to beat a hasty retreat.

I've had people where I work experience break-ins and thefts in the better parts of Davis in the last year. I expect to see lots of property crime in the areas on the perimeter of Davis as this economy turns worse.

Davis woman escapes gunman in apartment

A Davis woman was able to escape two men who attempted what Davis police characterized as either a home invasion robbery or sexual assault Sunday afternoon. Around 4 p.m., one suspect produced a gun, forced his way into the apartment on Cranbrook Court and shoved the woman to the floor, Sgt. Glenn Glasgow said in a news release. The victim screamed and was able to push past the suspect and flee the apartment.


A second suspect outside the apartment was seen running from the complex with the first man, Glasgow said.
