Please consider the safety of the current residence of this area. I thought drug use was not only unhealthy but it's also illegal. Please keep the neighborhood safe.

Keep our streets clean and safe, and provide actual care for people who need it, not by letting them run wild on the streets.

Please remove every sex offender, not just the most violent. I have two daughters and I’m a woman who wants to feel safe.

I would like to know how much the City is paying to house the homeless in hotels on the UWS. I bet it is an outrageous, unsustainable sum. The City has failed to effectively help the homeless, but instead is dumping the problem onto the neighborhood. Instead of paying a ridiculous amount to house the homeless in UWS hotels, the City should be looking for solutions that would help the homeless. Addicts are not going to be helped in this manner. If the City needs to house people in this expensive manner it should be homeless families, especially those with children and homeless women, especially those fleeing abusive situations. The City is enabling drug addiction by housing those afflicted in this manner.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS YOU'D SPEND OUR TAX DOLLARS TO RENT OUT HOTELS FOR SEX OFFENDERS AND DRUG ADDICTS. MY GIRLFRIEND IS AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF YOUR "BENEVOLENCE"

Please clean the streets, take the trash away and arrest everyone who is not wearing a mask!

Children and their safety and mental well being must always be our top priority. We must help the homeless but in a different area where children, our most vulnerable population, are not visually or physically traumatized. What was NYC thinking? This area is packed with families with young children and all of these hotels are within 9 blocks of a school. Bringing drug dealers to supply addicts endangers everyone, and harms addicts most of all. Some needs to admit this was a misguided very bad idea and relocate these residents.

On several occasions recently, my wife & have had to walk in the road with traffic due to combative argument or erratic behavior by a group on the sidewalk.

Malfeasance by our local elected officials and those executing on this directive. Endangering children, unconscionable.

https://nypost.com/2020/08/09/group-welcome-homeless-to-uws-with-demo-on-treating-od-patients/amp/ Who’s opposed to the likely few hardworking homeless down on their luck— not us. We are opposed to those with severe mental illness who have a significantly higher probability of committing crimes based on the hard historical data that says so. Put them in mental health institutions and shelters in their neighborhood, not places where we pay through our noses to have a safe place to live. $350 per night to house them is the brilliant solution our leaders came up with— we need new leaders grounded in reality and basic economics.
