Hello,
My name is Andrea Smith and I am a lifelong resident of San Bernardino County. I am writing to urge you to
support a warehouse moratorium for the city of San Bernardino. Our residents have consistently been subject to poor
air quality resulting from the numerous warehouses in the area.
These warehouses have little oversight and are built incredibly close to residences, even dislocating residents. The
jobs they provide are wrought with employee abuse and are not worth the cost to the community. I believe we could
focus on providing better jobs if we encouraged development that excluded more warehouses.
Adding to the number of warehouses in San Bernardino only limits city growth. We’re removing the potential for
San Bernardino to become a successful, culturally diverse city.
Thank you,
Andrea Smith =
