I do not consent to the approval or construction of any new warehouses in San Bernardino. We already have plenty of
warehouses. You've already succeeded In making San Bernardino a sacrifice zone, warehouse town. According to
CalMatters, warehouses occupy about 1 billion square feet of the Inland Empire, In 1980, the region was home to 234
warehouses: there are now more than 4,000. To expand the chokehold that warehouses have on our communities Is a
war on public health and the environment: San Bernardino and Riverside County, which form the bulk of the Inland
Empire, consistently rank as having the worst air pollution in the country, according to the American Lung Association,
Furthermore, these warehouses are often in predominantly Black, Latino, immigrant and low-income neighborhoods, so
the environmental racism Is loud and clear. In conclusion, I see no reason as to why the approval or further construction
of anywarehouses within San Bernardino should occur. I strongly urge you to do your jab and prioritize the health and
well-being of your constituents over corporate interests,
