not enough schools - too much housing - no hospitals - we are overcrowded here as it is and we are on a tiny penninsula!

The mayor should apply his definition of fairness to Manhattan, the Rockaway’s are not a deposit for all the troubled people in NYC.

Keep the kids of Rockaway safe and place the homeless where they can receive the services they need. Not in Rockaway

Rockaway has more than any other community of government subsidized programs.

We do not need this near our schools and children walking by on a daily basis.This is absolutley the wrong place to put this no jobs, no medical, no hospitals nearby its a residential area.We are still rebounding from the losses due to Superstorm Sandy.

This is not a place for homeless - children play here; schools nearby & businesses.

The communities of the Rockaway Peninsula, due to a concentration of nursing homes, was already recognized as being an "Impacted" area, more than 30 years sgo. Within New York City, a third of those homes were within Queens, and half of them were on the peninsula. Welfare families need housing? Send them to an area with a poor infrastructure: the Rockaways! No one there will complain. Guess what? We have voices, and like what was said in the movie, WE'RE MAD AS HELL, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!

They should give more affordable housing/rental for the people and not places that are riddled with defects and problems. Help the people don’t hurt them.

Rockaway is still recovering from sandy. This will not help. Also near several schools in the area which is dangerous for children. We already have enough homeless in the streets harassing people for money. We don’t even have a hospital. This is disgraceful. Please stop using Rockaway as the city’s dumping ground!
