Cool, calm, but alert are the words that accurately capture the safety status I would feel in Hayward.

I feel very safe when walking alone in the streets in my neighborhood. The major highways are well lit at night, which provides the necessary visibility that I need.

My neighborhood is not as safe as compared to the rest of the city. This situation is because the area that I live in is more densely populated than in other places. This population causes pressure on the facilities in my neighborhood.

I have reached out for help from the area code enforcement officials on two occasions. The engagement was concerning unruly neighbors who played loud music in the apartment blocks.

The housing standards in the area are a source of fear to me because they are continuing to crowd out each other. This condition may have a spiral effect on different aspects of living standards of the city’s population.

Community policing should be enforced to improve the safety standards in the city.

The public transit is very smooth, and shopping in the area is not conducive for the people lacking vehicles.
