    Neighbors and Teamsters Agree — Yes to Housing!

    MBNA President Bettina Cohen listens to Showplace Square neighbors in front of a Teamsters branded semi-truck on Saturday, Oct. 31. They live in a residential building off-frame, behind the perpendicularly parked white car. Teamsters Joint Council 7 brought out the big rig to drive home a scary point – there will be big rigs like this arriving 24/7 to the Showplace Square neighborhood if Amazon builds a proposed 710,000 square foot last-mile package distribution center at 900 7th St. The project site is obscured by the semi, across the street from where families live. Teamsters and neighbors in Showplace Square and Mission Bay agree – HOUSING would be a better use of the 6.23-acre site than a single, heavy industrial use structure.
