I am sending this email in regards to the discussion about the future of the Carousel Mall.
I believe it is important that community members have a seat at the table when it comes to
determining how the building and property should be utilized.
There is an opportunity for the city to prioritize issues such as sustainable, locally-beneficial
jobs, low income housing, and housing for homeless residents.
One of the most tragic phenomena in modern times is the infiltration of corporations like
Amazon into our local communities. Allowing the community to speak for themselves in what
they would like to see done with the Carousel Mall is crucial, and I urge the CIty of San
Bernardino to give the community that space and time.
Thank you,
Miller Johnston
