When the chemical company sold the land to the city, they mentioned the waste and indicated they take no responsibility for it once the city acquires the land. Then "Not long after having taken control of the land, the Niagara Falls School Board proceeded to develop the land, including construction activity that substantially breached containment structures in a num…
>but for some odd reason they still decided to build a new school and a bunch of housing there. The worst part about it is that it was then used to champion asinine legislation that hurts the people who want to do things right. So now every municipality who wants to buy some old poisoned dump on the cheap (because it's poisoned and that restricts development) and not be idiots with it (e.g. turn it into a park or a p…

What a shame that companies are forced to pay for the poisons they produced while making profits off those same poisons. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses of course.
How would you like it if you renovated a kitchen or added a deck and then 30yr later got sued because it wasn't adherent to the future code you didn't even know would exist?
