Hi5D5
Hi5D5 is a passionate group of concerned citizens living and working in San Francisco's District 5 who believe that all who reside in our neighborhood, and all of San Francisco, have the right to live in thriving, clean and safe corridors. With this in mind, we strive to implement positive solutions to address the most pressing issues in our community. Our members live across the Tenderloin, Alamo Square, Japantown, Western Addition, Haight Ashbury, and Hayes Valley.
About Hi5D5
San Francisco is a city of passionate democratic values that embrace diversity and inclusion. Hi5D5 is a group of concerned citizens living and working in San Francisco's District Five, which includes Alamo Square, Anza Vista, Buena Vista, Cathedral Hill, Civic Center, Downtown / Union Square, Duboce Triangle, Golden Gate Park, Haight Ashbury, Hayes Valley, Japantown, Lower Haight, Lower Pacific Heights, Mint Hill, Panhandle, Tenderloin, and the Western Addition.
We are not a formal association or non-profit, just a collection of constituents who believe our community deserves better. Our goal is to educate and engage our neighbors on ways we can make D5 a better place to live and work, as well as to hold City Hall accountable for affecting real change.
Hi5D5 feels strongly that all citizens should have access to clean and safe communities and that our goals of creating a safe & sustainable SF can be achieved if we come together. Join us if you want safer streets for all, public spaces free of drugs and tents, thriving business corridors, and effective leadership in City Hall.
Let‘s unite for a single purpose: to create a bright and better future for D5 residents and all San Franciscans.
Some of the actions we support to solve our community’s most critical concerns:
Prohibit Sidewalk Camping & Tents
We adamantly believe that San Francisco can do better than allowing vulnerable unwell people to suffer in substandard conditions on our streets and sidewalks. Allowing people to sleep on the streets is completely unacceptable for our communities and dangerous for those who are left to endure it. We believe all citizens have a right to an accessible sidewalk.
End Open Air Drug Use & Dealing
With competent and capable leadership, we can put an end to the dangerous presence of drugs in our city, build vibrant communities, and create an equitable future for all of our residents. While Hi5D5 advocates programs to fight drug addiction and provide mental health services for those in need, we do not endorse programs that incentivize public drug use or trafficking.
Work With SFPD to Prevent Crime
Smash-and-grabs, graffiti, shoplifting, and even gun violence, have plagued our community. We support a cooperative approach with the police to stop crime before it happens, as well as law enforcement's efforts to address open drug use and dealing.
Elect Strong & Effective Leaders
We demand that our leaders respond to neighborhood concerns and those of our merchants. We call for leaders willing to stand up to the special interests driving the city in the wrong direction. We appeal for greater government transparency and accountability with our tax dollars.
Support Our Merchants
The COVID-19 pandemic and dangerous conditions on our streets have caused irreparable economic devastation to our local merchants. We must come together as a community and support one another, while advocating for a cooperative approach with the police to prevent crime before it happens.
Improve Mental Health Services
We support city efforts to provide solutions for those suffering from mental illness and mental health crises on the street. We believe that San Franciscans deserve better access to treatment and tools.
