Please sign this petition to shut down the Haight-Ashbury McDonald’s.

As a resident of the neighborhood, I would like to be proud of my corner of this beautiful city. Instead, I avoid my own block favoring any other corner of Upper Haight than the one I live. I walk on the opposite side of the street to McDonald’s when I can avoid it. It attracts primarily drunk, drugged-up homeless people. I live one block from this McDonald’s and use the bus stop in front of the McDonald’s to get to work. Needless-to-say, I regularly feel unsafe by the mob of homeless people loitering in front of McDonald’s. The start of Golden Gate Park is often identified as where this McDonald’s is located. It’s an ugly entrance to a beautiful park. It’s a crux of a larger, well-known issue in Haight-Ashbury; homeless youth using the neighborhood as their playground, toilet, trash can, etc. And an even larger issue in the city of San Francisco; aggressive homeless people. I want to break down one little piece. I want Haight-Ashbury to serve as the example to San Francisco of what local residents can do to clean up the City.

Stand up.
