San José has approved 1.6 million sqft of data centers already, with 1.7 million sqft more in review — with almost no public process.
A historic buildout that could significantly impact air quality, water resources, noise levels, and heat is currently underway — yet residents have had almost no say. The City already met with over 50 developers and currently has 34 projects in its data center pipeline.[1]

San José City Council must exercise proper due diligence by holding a public study session on the cumulative public health impacts of bringing this many data centers online, including impacts on air quality, water, noise, and heat. The public has a right to transparency, accountability, and a meaningful opportunity to understand how development at this scale could affect community health, neighborhood conditions, and long-term quality of life.
