The site was removed from the EPA's top priority list in April of this year. Would you consider living on a such a site? Risks for this particular site are soil and groundwater contaminated with heavy metals.
ETA: though the site was only recently removed from the list, housing and business development has been going on for at least the last 5 (maybe more) years.

Honestly, I think I'd take almost any other configuration. I might prefer it to a crime ridden neighborhood. But otherwise I'd live in a tiny apartment rather than a place that polluted!

No way, no how.
I would live in a smaller home, have a longer commute, move, but I wouldn't knowingly live on or close to a Superfund site.

Not unless I had exhausted every other option and it truly was my only option.
