Superfund Status Sound-Off

The Bloomberg administration worried that calling the Gowanus Canal a superfund site would deter new business development and would-be new residents. But what about those of you who already live and work around there?

Do you care it's called a "superfund"?

Would you rather have had the canal cleaned up voluntarily by corporations (they would first have to admit they polluted)? Or have the federal EPA come in, clean it up, and force the companies to pay for it?

What do you think?

Thanks!
