Right. CA is perfectly clean and Buffalo is just the worst. You people do realize major industrial areas house waste in one form or another correct?

CA is relatively clean from legacy pollution, this is true. CA is a newer state. Someone here mentioned various polluting industries starting in Buffalo from the 1840s. In 1840, CA wasn't even a state- no one lived there. CA didn't really experience major population growth until 1940-1950.

The population of ALL of California in 1860 was about the same as Buffalo today, spread out over an area 3,000x bigger.

Different forms pollution there! Military bases contaminate the aquifers out there. Majority of the groundwater contamination is either MTBE or solvents
