Quality of Life and Public Safety (Homeless on Streets)

Do something!!!!

Please clean the streets.

Please do this

There are homeless people with pets on my block. There is also a homeless person who parks his 3 shopping carts full of things he has collected and stores in between the bike lane and the street. He sleeps there during the evening, this not safe. How do our city officials ignor this?

6 Ave and 14 St. is practically a tent city. Try waiting for a westbound crosstown bus.

I’ve lived at 54 w 16 st for 44 years I have always felt safe, sadly no longer. We have homeless many with unleashed putties on, 15-16 street, fifth ave o 14th st east to west. Time for mayors office to do their job

Please join the Public Safety and Quality of Life Meeting: Friday Oct 4: 2 PM St. Peter’s Church, 346 W 20th St

I lived in NYC for years. Six months after DeBlasio took office you could already see the "ick" factor taking over. He refuses to even admit there's an issue/let alone a crisis. He is the most ineffective Mayor this City has ever seen.

My wife and I are now considering moving OUT of the West Village due to the growing homeless/vagrant and litter problems. I wish we could stay where we live (and own), but how should I explain public urination, drug-use, and trash all over the sidewalks to our growing toddler son?

It has got out of control!!

Mayor get your act together and clean up the streests. You are destroying Manhattan

If you witness our street homeless crisis in Manhattan why would you remain anonymous? DOH is a scam. Speaker Johnson must never step outside of his W30th Street office because this neighborhood is lined up with countless bodies all over the place. It is inhumane for people to live like this. We have regressed as a society and not a single elected government official will acknowledge this crisis. Calling 311 does nothing. DOH does nothing. We have funding, personnel and plenty of inventory - how hard can it be for someone to do their job? Junkies are dealing drugs right out in the open walking around like zombies all tripped out. We have a woman who wreaks like urine and another who lives in the 7th Ave bus stop @W31; we have the shirtless crazy dummer/floutist who plays sitting in the middle of the street; we have the hillbilly white guy who lives on the step of the parking garage on W30 directly across from Johnson's office; there is the older white man with a beard and classes and a gigantic shopping cart who moved in 4 months ago on the SE corner of 7th/W30; there is a younger black skinned woman who rocks on the sidewalk in front of Nordstom Rack on 6th Ave; a white woman who is probably 300lbs who lies on the grate in front of Penn Station without shoes; should I go on? These are people. Humans. Homelessness does not discriminate and neither should New York City, the mayor, our City Council and the people who get paid to work for the Department of Homeless Services (which should probably get renamed because I do not see services for these ignored individuals.) Please take action

Although I feel terrible for the people who find themselves in these circumstances, the problem has gotten so out of control I am worried about the safety of my wife, my children and myself. Something must be done.

Please help clean up our Chelsea neighborhood to make it clean and safe for our children!

Yes, please do something.

Great concern for safety of Chelsea residents.

He's the cause of it !

The homeless, danger, and filth in our neighborhood have driven property values down 15% in last 18 months. Meanwhile we received a 15% Property tax increase last month. in addition to all the other bogus tax increases, fake fines, inspections & fees, scaffolding scams, local 11 scam, etc.. NYC has reduced homeowner services & safety. We are regularly being threatened by mentally ill, stepping over homeless to enter our buildings, walking through trash & feces on the sidewalks, and have a vastly lower Quality of Life vs. 4 years ago. Where are our tax dollars going? And why are taxes rising? There is already a flight of working taxpayers (tax base) from NY. Do Something & do n ot turn us into LA or SanFrancisco!

I work in Chelsea on the same block as the BRC... the whole area is absolutely disgusting and dangerous. Drug dealing is openly conducted on the streets, homeless are all over the place, many are aggressive, the whole situation is out of control and getting crazier by the minute. Looks like something out of 'Thunderdome'.
