  what's the discount on a house built near a toxic site? is the market the same in that area or are the dynamics vastly different?

  Has the local newspaper ever reported on these sites? What about the US Congressmen involvement getting funding to remove this material over the year - Molinari's both father and daughter and Vito Fossella?

  What about people who have a backyard garden or a community garden. Should they have the soil in the backyard tested? If so, would the State DEP be able to help with such a test?

  simpsonsmovieblew, houses on the north shore are less expensive than other parts of the island but still are not cheap. Housing costs have tripled on Staten Island over the past 8 years.
