Is that a Superfund site… or just a lot of yard art?

Wandering around the web today, I ran across an interesting site.

The EPA has a website that allows us to map environmental issues that might be in areas we are thinking of buying a home. There is a wealth of information that one can find here (here are the titles… fell free to visit the site to find out more):

  • TRI Facilities
  • Enviro Justice Geo Assessment Tool
  • Katrina & Rita water test results
  • Superfund Sites
  • Envirofacts
  • Window to My Environment
  • Brownfield Grants
  • Waste Management
  • Clean-ups

When someone tosses out some general and off the cuff stats, they can’t be verified.

So, I ran into one problem,

  • Government intervention in loans

or

  • A rush of foreclosures

Everybody put your heads on the desk…

Do you remember those words from grade school?  The big kid from the back of the class shot a spitball at the teacher, and so everyone got the same punishment.  There were 29 kids in the class that didn’t do anything, but they still got the same treatment.  What’s worse is that the kid that caused the trouble didn’t suffer any more than the kids that didn’t.

That was simply because it was
