Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right by sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild. Good book on the topic, specifically around why it continues.
Hochschild’s interviewees were largely in Lake Charles as I understand.

Ok but the other three refineries in the Bay Area are not adjacent to low-income areas (I live next to one!). So what exactly is your point?
I'm not sure what you are talking about? I was generalizing for people not familiar with the area, and lumping together the entire "North East Bay" which includes all of the Bay Area refineries. West/North Richmond, Rodeo, Martinez, and Benicia all would be crazy expensive regions if it weren't for the massive health issues with living in those areas.
The existence of Vallejo (100k population, no refinery, cheap) disproves your claim.
