I painted every wall in this house, my dad painted a mural on Chase's wall. It was ours.

You hear about the health effects, you hear about the environmental impact and both those are disastrous and just scary is the only word I can think of, but nobody's talking about the thousands of kids that live up here.

So, I'm supposed to somehow tell my kids that they are safe with 114 ticking time bombs essentially up on the hill above their homes, you want to talk about mad, mad doesn't describe what I'm feeling.

We begged and borrowed from our working-class mom and dad to get this house. To get this place where our kids could be safe, where there may be a good school, because the school wasn't built yet.
