• Description:
  Warehousing activities generate substantial externalities that affect surrounding neighborhoods. Using data for four major metropolitan areas in California, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento, this study tests the relationship between the spatial distribution of warehouses and disadvantaged neighborhoods. The results show that warehouses are disproportionately located in minority neighborhoods, regardless of the urban contexts. The four metros are diversified in the roles of global trade, land availability, and development stage of the warehousing industry.
