Toxic waste cleanups take longer in marginalized Bay Area communities--and even simple remediations lag at sites in socially vulnerable areas.
Affluent communities can exert pressure on regulators to act, as our scientist Ian Wren said. Resource-strapped agencies will not manage a site proactively unless a community forces them to do so.
"It's really a case of, the squeaky wheel gets the cleanup,” he said.

1) Zooming around the #sfbayarea going to #art events with my spouse. Art community here was decimated by the tech booms & then the pandemic. (How many art spaces got priced out & replaced by startups? And the artists priced out of apts?) But rumors of its death are greatly exaggerated.
2) Kiddo is making drawings to order for friends. Printing on a little sticker printer. She’s good at this!
3) Most grades for my portion of the quarter’s assignments are loaded!
#Introduction I’m now #retired, after a career in accounting & IT mostly at HP (& then Agilent). After that, I spent 17 years as a professional organizer, helping people with their #clutter; I was also the #editor of a local magazine.

It's my favorite day #FollowFriday 😀
I'm coming up to my one month #fediversary. Is that a thing?
I love this place. Stopped looking at #Twitter after a week when I found this place. Now I'm happy every time I check in here and feel the positive energy. This is how social networking should have stayed.
I post a bit about work-y things (#AI, #MachineLearning #Technology #Strategy #Product), quite a bit on #MastodonTips (and questions) and a little about random things (#Film, #TV, #News).
I'm originally from the #UK, live in the #SFBayArea now, mum of teens and have been in tech for too many years that I can disclose because it makes me feel too old.
Anyway, boost and/or follow me and I'll #FollowBackFriday !
P.S - Thank you all #admins including our own @admin @rperez

Hi! After quietly lurking here for over a year, I think I'm finally ready to start posting occasionally. So I guess an #introduction is in order!
I live in the #sfbayarea and I'm the mom of three amazing teens. I also live with my delightful and supportive husband and our sweet black #labrador - who is my favorite #hiking buddy. I'm a recently retired recovering lawyer and I love #reading and soaking in a hot bath. I'm interested in #WomensRights , protecting #trans kids, and trying to learn more every day about how to dismantle white supremacy internally and in our society. Mostly looking for laughs and company as we all experience this roller coaster of life together!
can't wait to return during the full springtime bloom.
