New homes in the CBSD area also cost 700k

Is there a paper mill nearby? The wood pulp often has a cabbage smell and is sprayed with chemicals that have a distinct smell.

Let the landlord know the neighbor is destroying the property.

They lost $500 million last quarter. Some analysts predict they will be forced to declare bankruptcy in 2023.

I'd really like to listen, too! it would be nice to listen to experts who know about clean up instead of just people who work for the railroad.

but the love to tout their non-profit status

Go ahead and clutch those pearls, but here is an example from yesterday in this very subreddit:

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says his office made a criminal referral in East Palestine train derailment

> Ok. But can he worry about our state?

Pay a PR firm $180,000 a year? Could’ve gone to the teachers.

My dude if you think this is from the East Palestine environmental disaster you are being paranoid. There’s pollution everywhere. I’m not saying that it’s not harmful, on the contrary. But this screams chemophobia because it was “vinyl chloride” and the mechanism of release (derailment) was unusual. What happened there is an absolute tragedy, but every since it happened I keep seeing posts from PA to the tippy top of New England, saying stuff like help I smell chemicals I’m being poisoned. I mean, I’m glad you’re thinking about it now but did you somehow no smell the “chemical” odors everywhere before? Have you never smelled New York Harbor. For example, I live somewhat near a coal fired power plant. There are higher levels of mercury in the top soil where I live. You can’t even smell that stuff, but there it is. If you put top soil in a mass spec, there it is.

If you want something to worry about. Every time you pump your gas, that sweet smell is literally benzene which is a confirmed potent carcinogen. Gas is usually 1% benzene. If you can smell it it means that it’s getting into your lungs and therefore into your blood. Or the smell of diesel soot or woodsmoke. Those are polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Also confirmed carcinogenic. Or that smell of incompletely combusted gas exhaust. Benzene PAH and nitrogen oxides. You guessed it, all very carcinogenic!

The East Palestine stuff derailment is a tragedy but it really looks like this is a local environmental disaster. Like love canal. We should all be aware and outraged, but that’s different than being worried about being poisoned from hundreds of Km away, when there are literally hundreds of sources or types of pollution that you should be more worried about cars most of all.

Just my opinion bro take it or leave it.

The point perhaps, is they’ll find something to complain about

Willow Creek in Maidencreek & Ontelaunee Twps. in Berks. Mushroom industry almost destroyed it ~8 years ago but it has bounced back.

Certain people is carrying a lot of weight here. You are 100% correct.

Wow, that's scary as hell.

Let. It. Fling!!!!

Privatization of critical infrastructure and maximizing shareholder profit over everything (especially preventative maintenance)?

Is it cats or a meth lab?

That's one admin salary...

Not more than they give a shit about money.

Thankfully, the definition included in the PA Clean Streams Law includes groundwater and all tributaries/streams. There have been rumblings for decades regarding paring down the definition to match "waters of the United States", which limits what waters are covered under the regs. I'll give you one guess which political party wants to amend the law. It's also very interesting that a certain political party wants to limit what is and is not pollution in our state. In their proposed bill, the polluter gets to decide whether they are polluting...

Just as Jeebus would have done.

Let us not forget thalidomide! Yep, the good old days of quack doctors ruining lives… oh wait… that still happens all the time.

I am not being funny, your story changes.

You wanted advice I gave it to you. Have fun with your problem. Who cares if they are family, you are complaining so do something about it.

You have options, use them, if not, then you can deal with the issue.
