We demand safe and clean streets on the Upper West Side

Whoever put this insane idea into our prestige neighborhood should not ever get involved in any political matters. it's totally irresponsible to our neighborhood, and also put all the hard work we have done to make it a great home into trash, or worse than the trash. GET THE HOMELESS OUT!!! For the god sake, it was a safe neighborhood for children, not even adults will worry about their safety.

This is not a good solution for ether those who live in the neighborhood or those house in these facilities

I do not support what mayor de Blasio is doing to New York City

My kids go to school on 77 st. We worry about their safety! ironically enough, at this point we worry about what is happening on the UWS streets just as much as we worry about Covid19 infections at school. We worry about their mental and physical health. We will do remote learning this semester because of both. Let’s make sure we don’t let the situation in the city’s safety conditions deteriorate!

Please help make the city better like it was.

I spend a lot of time on 73rd street & Bway with a close friend who's also a 20+ year resident. I've experienced the harassment and threatening environment that's been unnecessarily created by placing the rights of the homeless ahead of those who just want a safe neighborhood. As a single women, there's a real threat just trying to walk the streets. While I believe it's important to help provide homeless with support, it's also the city's responsibility that doesn't come at the expense of residential safety.. With more thoughtful and proactive planning, there's a way to ensure everyone can co-exist, however currently the homeless have been given the freedom to do as they please with no repercussions from the police, This includes verbal abuse and intimidation, aggressive and illegal assembly of groups and blatant alcohol and drug use, the list just goes on. The police aren't enforcing laws and instead stand around hoping to diffuse the tension. While I know that not all of the homeless seeking shelter are part of the problem, there needs to be expectations placed on those bringing brought in to be respectful of the neighbored instead of creating an unsafe, unlawful situation.

we can't afford an unsanitary city. We must be vigilant to prevent illness and property devaluation.

I think it’s fine to house and help the homeless in these hotels so long as they adhere to the same laws and social norms as everyone else—no drugs or public drinking or lewd behavior and no cat calling or sleeping on the street or aggressive panhandling. The mentally ill and addicted need actual professional help, no merely a bed in a hotel. The UWSers are not equipped to give them medical assistance. That’s the city’s job.

People are leaving the city for GOOD because it has become filthy, crime-ridden. NYC used to be a destination and place of joy. Seems like those in power have no clue the basic human need. A job, a home, safety, pride.

Please! Something must be done!!! Our neighborhood is being destroyed! I will demonstrate, write letters, make phone calls, stage a sit-in, whatever it takes. This is horrendous and so dangerous for everyone.

You can add to the list of hotels housing people, with substance abuse problems as well as sex offenders and recently released inmates with criminal records, The Excelsior on 81st and Columbus and a halfway home at 108 W 83rd St ( one of five halfway homes ) in 10024 10025. Most notably of residents at 108 W 83rd, a level 2 sex offender there nearly killed a young woman walking her dog on 85th St and CPW in an attempted rape. A resident there killed his roommate with a kitchen knife early this year. This building was also the center of the largest drug raid in the last ten years in the uws. Men living at this facility do and sell drugs in daylight across the street from the playground at PS9. Guests at The Excelsior are not informed that they are paying full price to stay in a homeless shelter.

Please relocate these homeless shelters to areas with more space for residents of the shelter to social distance. They unfortunately are not doing so and are more than likely not able to while sitting on the street since it’s such a busy area. Moving would be important to residents well being along with the homeless. I’ve also seen many residents of the shelter on the street heavily intoxicated and doing drugs on the street. I’m wondering why they’re being put on the streets in these areas with so many elderly and families with small children.

I am horrified and disgusted at this administration’s decisions with regards to our city. Leaving the city to be destroyed by criminals, criticizing police officers that risk their lives to protect us, and placing hundreds of homeless individuals in a few block radius, including several sex offenders, child molesters and drug addicts in a primarily family oriented area with no increase in policing. Countless recorded accounts of these individuals breaking the law and not a single attempt by the administration to address the issue.

This lack of accountability to UWS residents and business owners would never have happened if the mayor was up for re-election. He is operating without accountability and he could care less about the people who put him in office.

Incidents day every day. Hanging out at Broadway benches 77&Bwy and more. No social distancing, passing joints, screaming...how is this helping stop the spread and PS we are afraid to go out in the neighborhood we built and paid for.
