Vague Pariah @vaguepariah.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Arguably the reg is a result of NIMBYs not allowing apartments to be built anywhere but along polluted arterials and freeways and the better solution would be to allow apartments on parcels that aren't subject to such high levels of pollution. 110

Yeah it shouldn't be difficult to just maybe build housing somewhere else that isn't inherently so poisonous to people that we need extensive safety methods to make it livable. 120
Pam Wishbow @pamwishbow.bsky.social · 14/06/2026In fact this example was used as a counter to Klein’s book in several interviews. in Seattle there’s push to build more on superfund areas, as someone who grew up near many I would not wish that fate on a family just for the sake of cheap building 130
