If the houses where a mile inland its still likely that they would cause run off in to the bay. If there is some other specific problem with these houses you don't say what it is.

The article you link to doesn't mention these houses. It talks about old sewage plants and improperly set up septic systems, and farms without proper controls for runoff.

Apparently the 2010 goal for the bay cleanup is unrealistic and probably has always been unrealistic.

In any case I don't know what gave you the impression that I'm automatically against any and all environmental regulation, or that I think people should be able to dump whatever they want in to the Chesapeake Bay with no restrictions.

The houses are there because people wanted them there. They like being near the water. If the country was thoroughly socialist it wouldn't change that desire it would just change the owners of the house from people with upper middle class jobs to people with government power or connections. Many of the worst environmental disasters in history have been located in heavily socialist countries.
