"From what I've heard about the legislative history of AB 98, it was very much a piece of compromise legislation, even something that was introduced so that something stricter wasn't introduced."
"It seems like it's going to probably impact California very little in terms of the Inland Empire build out. More impactful would be local site fights at the municipal level."
"In the last year, the site fights have really been around data centers more than warehouses, and there have been some tremendously successful site fights."
E-commerce companies like Amazon have developed complex logistics systems, particularly for last-mile deliveries. Legislation such as California's AB 98 may have limited impact on warehouse development. Local site fights at the municipal level are more influential in shaping decisions regarding warehouse siting. Successful local opposition has been noted, particularly concerning data centers. The effectiveness of state-level regulations on warehousing is questioned, suggesting that local governance plays a crucial role in the logistics landscape.
