I went to school in Pittsburgh, PA where they are building condos and bars on slag piles from 19th century blast furnaces. I don't think industry in cities is unique. For a few more examples: Philadelphia has an oil refinery practically downtown. Even without leaving the Bay Area Oakland and Richmond have heavy industry in close proximity to people's homes inside the cities.
