Fairfield Riffraff Ordinance - City Wants To Weaken It?


Will converting Fairfield motels increase or decrease Fairfield crime?  Fairfield city hall wants to convert motels from long-term stay to short term stay.  Up to now, Fairfield motel guests can stay only up to 30 days.

This is the “Fairfield Riff Raff Ordinance”. Some at Fairfield Police might unofficially say the 30 day maximum stay is another way to keep out Fairfield riff raff.

Instead of focusing on the city’s important promise to improve blighted parts of Fairfield, it’s again focusing on ways to worsen Fairfield’s blighted neighborhoods.

In 2008 Fairfield stopped allowing new motel construction (others call it affordable hotels). John Mraz, and Cat Moy, and the others on the Fairfield City Council wisely believe Fairfield motels are an important focus for cutting Fairfield crime rates.

Solano needs to give affordable housing.  And Fairfield continues to take up the problem because the other Solano cities are informally saying they want Fairfield to take on the responsibility.

More details at the Fairfield newspaper www.dailyrepublic.com. Check out the other articles on how the city is keeping or not keeping its promise to Fix Fairfield.
