We demand safe and clean streets on the Upper West Side

275 W 96th St Apt. 24g

Please , this must stop., We need our streets to be safe

275 W 96th street New York, NY 10025

The Di Blasio’s should have to live in one of those hotels.

I don’t appreciate seeing people urinate in front of buildings, and needles in the streets especially where there are schools and children.

I'm afraid for my 20 year old daughter and myself to walk around. I remember the attempted brutal rape of a young woman on CPW by a homeless man from the 83rd Street shelter. SCARY!

There need to be more services to handle this population appropriately or they need to move them someplace else that can.

I have been grab and harassed in my own neighborhood by vagrants. The shoot heroine behind umbrellas. They deficate on the sidewalks and building doorways. It's unsafe and it's filthy.

Enough enough

This solution is unacceptable to the families living on the UWS

Sex offenders should not be housed next to schools. My children will not be safe going or coming home from school.

Let’s get our streets safe!

I’ve personally been verbally assaulted and threatened, seen deals being made, seem others including moms with children, getting harassed. This isn’t ok. I agree the homeless need and deserve the cities help. However, what help are they getting when clearly each day they are taking to the streets and threatening the neighborhood. This needs to change. These threatening people need to go to a more equipped facility to detox get medical. Are and therapy NOW

The statement that the homeless situation here is beginning to resemble San Francisco’s and that’s an unfortunately true statement. I’m an nyc native and lived in SF from 2017-2019 and always thought nyc homeless were relatively harmless minding there own business. SF has homeless that scream at themselves and people and follow yelling at you (that happened over ten times to me there in 2 years, maybe twice my entire life in nyc) 60th and West End

I was here in 1980 and was appalled, but young and took on many of the dangers. I have seen so many returns to the bad old days: open drug use, drug dealers, random violence to citizens (face punching, verbal abuse, shoving) aggressive begging, garbage rifling and strewing.. 1980 was pretty bad. Now there are families here. There is Covid. We are very, very tired and the city went ahead, without notification, to dramatically bury a 9 block stretch with hundreds of seriously disturbed men when we are least able to cope. My God. What could possibly come next?

Build cheaper lodging outside of the city and get people who can’t afford cost of living in the area out. It’s a bit punishing to keep these people housed in a place where a sandwich can be $10+

We, the long time residents of this neighborhood, are now unsafe on our own streets and homes. Crimes that have not occurred in this neighborhood since I have been here, 27 years, are now occurring - blatant drug deals, people being accosted on the streets, nudity, someone stabbed at the 72nd street subway station yesterday. Do we now have to wait for a child or adult to be injured or molested? I understand our responsibility to care for the homeless but DO NOT PUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS IN DANGER! And where are their masks to protect themselves and us from harm? This is a densely populated neighborhood with people of all ages. We now need to be protected too. Please relocate those who have been transferred here who are a menace to our population.
