It looks like California is relatively clean on this scale, but what about the Superfund sites? I feel like those are gray areas that get much less attention than I would expect. With former semiconductor fab sites and former military sites getting increasingly developed with sometimes only a few feet of topsoil removed for cleanup (plus some kind of shielding material?), and a seeming lack of hard data for long term health impact, count me among the concerned.

(happy to have my worries put to rest by HN'ers!)

Yeah, can't wait for them to try bringing manufacturing back to America. Hopefully California will shut anything like that down.

Because having it elsewhere is better?

Here we'd have the resources to hopefully make it safe(r). China doesn't give a damn about the environment.
