I couldn't tune-in El Segundo, Mark - too much interference from clouds of petroleum by-products.

I thought California had some very strong pollution laws. I know I lived just outside of New Orleans for many years in an area that had several petro-chem plants and I don't recall seeing clouds of petroleum by-products all the time. If there was a cloud, the company would be warned and possibly fined, depending why and how severe the release was into the air. The smell near the plants could be bad sometimes, but generally it didn't cover the entire local area.

What we liked about living there was the fact that with so many companies located in that particular parish the tax base was huge and they used most of it for education. St. Charles Parish schools were always ranked #1 or 2 in the state and received national recognition regularly.

The average standard of living was higher in the area as well, with many fine subdivisions. Most of the New Orleans Saints lived in Ormand Estates. I just can't view petro-chem plants with a great deal of disdain because there are certain benefits to be gained from them being located in a community.
