I have lived in the bay area and marin for 23 years. We are planning to move because of the spray. Am not sure how pesticide drift works, but beginning during the Santa Cruz spray, myself and my partner both had severe coughs that lasted for months. My partner hasn’t had a cough in years. I still have a cough that won’t go away, that has yellow phelgm and I’m a health conscious vegan. We don’t have enough money to move, but will take out a loan to move if the spray is going to occur - against the will of the people of California.

I will miss the grand redwood trees, the deer, squirrels, birds, ducks, bees, foxes and even the bobcat and coyote that occasionally pass through my yard. They have become my friends, and each critter has a name. It is a sad day when nature and humanity is so brutally attacked by the very people that are supposed to “protect” us, all for a manmade printed dollar bill, and an oh so interesting grand experiment.

We are currently seeking high and low, every state on the map of where to go that has clean air, organic food, and kindhearted, open minded people. Also trying to figure out what state will be safe from the aerial pesticiding of humans - this isn’t about a moth. Can’t afford to move out of the country, then again if you do some research, you’ll see that this is happening around the globe.

To those who so desperately want to spray the good people of California, please come to each city during the actual spraying, stand outside on the street and welcome the planes with open arms and an open mouth as they spray you - then we might have something to cheer about, you know, it’s “harmless”.

Let’s work to stop this insanity, pray it doesn’t happen, and stay strong. Peace and Love to All

If this goes ahead, I and several of my friends and family members will be moving out of California, permanently. This is an outrageous attack on the citizens of California.

I am shocked by the plan to spray the public, thier children and animals without any consent! This is an outrage. I am moving to the bay area for work and am now considering against it. More and more people are eating foods without poisons and staying away from them for a reason! This is a basic human right and it is being violated. I am seriously considering not buying any real estate because of this issue. It is disturbing and sad.

Landlords: You Are About to Lose Your Renters (sausalito)
I personally know of several renters about to break their leases and leave the area due to the imminent aerial pesticide spraying that is about to begin in Southern Marin.

I haven’t yet exerienced the LBAM spray, but from the stories I’ve heard I am positive I will be a candidate for moving if spraying happens as promosed in the East Bay. Breathing traffic fumes, fumes from tumbledryers (dryer sheets), perfume, cigarettes - you name the toxin - it affects my health. I’m often down for 24 hours with a nasty nauseous headache and inability to focus.

I am not going to risk the possibility of longer exposure as indicated in the LBAM program. Whether they spray every month or every three months, the stuff is going to be in the air, and, since it is made up of synthetic chemicals some of which are known to be harmful to humans, I know I’d be down.
I think of myself as a canary in the coal mine - one of the first to be affected.
