Review of Lompoc, California


Far worst then Santa Maria.
Star Rating - 1/22/2019
I’ve lived here almost all my life. It was okay growing up. I haven seen one review in 2018 and I can see why. Lompoc isn’t the same anymore. There’s shootings almost every night. Gets being stolen on a day to day basis, burglaries, robberies, druggies out on the streets. I’ve never seen Lompoc like this. This town is Gang infested and nothing more of a complete Ghetto. I figure starting off 2019 would be a great and fresh start. I was 100 percent wrong. So far there’s been 9 shootings in this month alone. Some days we had two shootings in one day and the majority of the shootings are happening during the day time. This town is a ghetto. People need to know that Lompoc isn’t the same and needs to take it seriously. If there was a 0 Star then I would rate it like that. Horrible town. It’s far worse then Santa Maria.

Don’t tell me what I already know. I grew up in Inglewood born and raised there. I know all about the hard life that you would never know. This town Lompoc isn’t pleasing at all. A 17 year old girl was just killed in a gang shooting, a doctor was robbed outside of a hospital, a man was JUST recently stabbed, there’s shootings around the city, that’s pleasing to you? You said you retired 2 years ago, whatever that means. If your not living here in this year and witnessing all the crap that’s going on then your only fooling yourself that this is a pleasing town. Lompoc has the lowest income housing on the central coast so yeah it’s very affordable which means MORE crime. You can keep telling yourself that this is a pleasing town and a safe town. Two homicides in a month isn’t pleasing with an understaffed police force.

Your completely negative review is fake news. I retired in Lompoc 2 years ago and have been nothing but pleased with the town. I walk over 10 miles every day through the city and have found it completely safe and the residents very friendly. Try living in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Philadelphia like I have and you will change your views. There are drug problems throughout the country and Lompoc is no worse than any other city, including Santa Maria. Lompoc is a very affordable city with cool weather that does not require air conditioning and is a great place to live.
