Many of them are unsalvageable...

Well, California is big, so it has more places.
San Francisco is great. The prevailing wind is usually right off the ocean, and rips through the Golden Gate and the Alamany Gap, breaks in the coast range. Our water comes from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir in Yosemite, melted snow, and most everybody drinks tap water at home and in restaurants. I'm usually shocked at how weird the water tastes when I travel.

While I live in one of the filthy cities on that list, I think its wrong. I can think of many cities in far worse shape then Akron, Ohio.

I lived in Akron and just outside (Kent) for a year. It wasn't anywhere close to being unlivable. Depressed, sure, but the Adirondacks are worse.

Yep. But Obama will bail out Californica for the votes.
I pretty much agree with the list... but they should have done a crime study as well... Riverside County is right up there with Oakland for crime.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

You might not be able to taste it but San Francisco drinking water has a pr oblem with nitrates:

problem with nitrates:
Problem? 4 ppm is well under the 10 ppm health/legal limit.

To statists, the only safe limit is half the detectable amount. ...of ANYTHING.

Yup. People can measure parts per trillion of lots of things.

a problem with nitrates:
Not easily. Arsenic - as an element - is easier than say dioxin. Atomic absorbtion spectroscopy can be very specific, but making sure that everything in the processing train is arsenic free to that level demands very careful work.

No, that's just idiot environmentalists, and I sometimes wonder whether they aren't hired from central casting by the likes of Exxon- Mobil to give environmentalism a bad name.
krw doesn't think at all, so that thought won't have entered his head.
