Community members voiced strong opposition to the proposed Prologis project during a recent San Francisco City Commission meeting, demanding immediate action and transparency. Rochelle Holmes, representing All Things Bayview, passionately urged commissioners to deny the project, emphasizing its potential negative impact on public health and the environment. "This is not just a Bayview issue; it's a San Francisco issue," she declared, highlighting the urgency for the project to be placed on the calendar for discussion.

Holmes, along with other residents, expressed frustration over repeated continuances of the project, which they believe dismiss their concerns about increased pollution and health risks. Ronnie DeMott Wilson, another community advocate, echoed these sentiments, criticizing the commission for delaying the hearing and asserting that the project would exacerbate existing environmental challenges.

Retired nurse Donna Canale added her voice to the chorus of dissent, warning that the project would introduce more pollution to already underserved areas. She called for alternative solutions that prioritize community health over industrial development. Judy Rosenfeld, also a retired nurse, pointed out that the air quality issues would extend beyond Bayview, affecting neighborhoods like the Mission District and Glen Park.

In contrast, Rudy Gonzalez from the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council acknowledged the community's concerns but requested patience as discussions with stakeholders, including Prologis, continue. He emphasized the importance of engaging all voices in the conversation before moving forward.

The meeting underscored a growing tension between community health advocates and development interests, with residents demanding accountability and action from city officials. As the commission considers the next steps, the future of the Prologis project remains uncertain, with community members eager for their voices to be heard.
