[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What had always stopped me in my tracks is the number of residents who are fighting tooth and nail against the issue being addressed. That’s the case in the Palisades where they’d rather mock and discredit than invite an objective study and produce stats that could give them a fighting chance. In Brussels 400 households brought a civil suit over this. I bet you won’t find 20 in the Palisades.

Same for the Spring Valley. It was the neighbors affected by that horror that are the biggest obstacles to a solution and it being a well known issue. True story: we know someone who tested soil from a “clean” house there in 2 labs just to have peace of mind at closing. It turned up high arsenic and other things that gvt measured; but that wasn’t the worst. The worst were things they don’t measure but must know are there; heavy metals like Thalium, the most toxic heavy metal known to man and not in small concentrations. They close entire industrial sites over this but people happily carry on and gaslight in DC.

For a neighborhood with as may big law partners and lobbyists as the palisades/kent/etc, it actually is insane that they cant get a single serious legal challenge or environmental study going. Hell, even the McMillian idiots got some traction. And those people were actually idiots, but they still delayed stuff for a decade plus. Nobody actually cares if you think about revealed preferences. (I.e. putting money where your mouth is). Everyone knew this was a problem when the moved in, but some people just like to complain. We all know people like that.

Incredible and perhaps the crux of the issue [/quote]
