| 105 | Karen L. Zanelli | The North Shore has more than its fair share of facilities for the mentally ill perhaps it is time for the rest of the island to share the burden. |

| 123 | Beatrice Ramirez | I feel strongly that this large scale facility is not appropriate for a primarily residential community. It is also out of line with the mental health community's guidelines for small treatment centers. If it violates zoning regulations that is reason alone to disallow this project. We urge your careful reconsideration of the well-being of the entire community in the light of this ill-conceived proposal. Sincerely, Beatrice Ramirez |

| 126 | Elizabeth and John LaCause | We wrote the following 3 years ago:
St. Vincent’s and the Pauline Sisters will not make us victims of our own good works.
What drew us to St. George was its diverse community, reflecting strengths and aspirations of a true melting pot. A community with a social conscience and a charitable nature among its residents is rare and should be respected.
Every other block has at least one program for the less fortunate, and as a community we have gone above and beyond our duty as good citizens, with an impressive amount of civic pride, so this brouhaha over the sale of the convent is not part of our nature.
The best deal is a deal where all sides benefit. Even so, we have yet to hear how this benefits St. George. The best that St. Vincent’s can come up with are authoritative assurances that this newest community of the mentally ill they propose to plunk down in the middle of our neighborhood, a neighborhood that they know is already over-saturated with the socially challenged, is harmless.
As a nonprofit organization, St. Vincent’s holds a public trust, which requires a reflection of deepened social conscience and moral imagination. There is nothing moral or imaginative about this proposal. This is nothing more than a cynical scam born of convenience. This ill-thought plan is not good for us, not good for the patients, and not good for St. Vincent’s. There are no benefits for an area that has more than met its social responsibilities and is now struggling to meet its potential.
Having children attending P.S. 16, who walk by the convent like hundreds of other children, twice a day, everyday, we are reminded of the story they loved for us to read about the goose that laid the golden eggs. Old folk tales are classics because they were written as lessons that are as pertinent today as they were hundreds of years ago. Our goose is St. George, it’s about to be cooked, and the very people who have become too greedy are saying we have nothing to lose. |

| 128 | Anne Cooney | It seems extraordinary that a large residential facility would be establised for mental hospital patients and mentally ill released prisoners in such a concentrated area of Staten Island, especially when it violates zonging regulation. |

| 135 | Monica Paquette | There are a number of social service agencies in neighborhood and a new faciltity of this size and nature would overwhelm the community. Please withdraw approval for this facility. |

| 138 | Patrizia Vignola | Hello!!! Why not start thinking of ways to draw people here not keep them away. The city wants young families to move to this area, yeah this will be a draw for them! If they to bring in young artist types, why not make something more community driven like a rotating studio program or something creative. Whatever, it's just a bad idea all around! |

| 140 | Andrea Luster | I can possibly understand moving these people to an area without a large population, possibly in a more industrial area, but this is ridiculous! |

| 143 | Cynthia Selmon | This facility is too large and too close to schools. In addition, this community already is home to many social service agencies. The area is saturated. |
| 144 | judith kudless | Too Much!!!!! |
| 145 | Bernadette Conroy | Enough is enough. I have lived on the North Shore for 30 years and we are underserved. St. Vincents abandoned the hospital, unable to make it run financially. How is it going to support this? |
