On the other hand - I'm hard pressed to think of even one river near a major Democratic city that isn't mostly lifeless.
Schuykill in Philly, Charles in Boston, East River in NYC, Chicago River in Chicago which is so lifeless it's pretty much JUST a sewer.
What gets me about some of these is, the water has been seriously polluted for a VERY - LONG - TIME.
Apparently, according to Wikipedia, there's a fund for cleaning the Schuykill that was set up - by BENJAMIN FRANKLIN!
And it's been on fire in the past.
From what I get about the Bay - the major contributor to pollution is Pennsylvania. Since it's not part of their livelihood,
there's no compelling reason for them to pony up. Cleaning up the Chesapeake is in the interests of industry, so it gets done.
From what I get about the Patuxent - overfishing and such has hurt it. It once was a major source of oyster fishing on the east coast.
Not so much anymore - and the oysters were keeping it clean. Ditto the crabs. Why are people cleaning it? Because it helps them.
From what I can SEE - it is improving. Crab and oyster populations are increasing and the rockfish are back.
With no way to meter sewer usage every home paided a month flat fee for sewer.
That's funny, guess you never saw the filthy upper Potomac River say around Carterock in the 70's back when the Park Service Cops took you to get a tetnus shot when you were caught swimming there.

Do you not realize you are proving my point?
Says the idiot who brags about enjoying his water view.
Hope you like watching all of trash , raw sewage and and additional chemicals and floating by. Glad that will all be finally less regulated The 70's and 80's were a great time for water quality.
What a short sighted moron you are.
Do you not realize you are proving my point?
How...exactly?

I do believe that you dont actually live or lived around DC at all, or your a mini millennial and just don't know $hit.
Sappy and his ilk will always believe that more government is better government, more regulation is always better, less freedom is good for everyone...
Not quite what my more liberal friends and relatives think - just that if you curtail or end a government program - all hell will break loose.
You know, end Affirmative Action and slavery will be back (despite what the Constitution says). Stop funding to Planned Parenthood and all abortions will be done in back alleys with coat hangers. And if you don't comply with anything related to Climate Change, the world will end before the end of this century.
THAT kind of stuff. It's not that they believe it's always better, they just think what we HAVE is the only thing standing between the status quo and the end of the world.
EVEN if it's obvious that the government program doesn't do a damned thing at all. It must be sustained.
Description: When only two choices are presented yet more exist, or a spectrum of possible choices exists between two extremes. False dilemmas are usually characterized by “either this or that” language, but can also be characterized by omissions of choices. Another variety is the false trilemma, which is when three choices are presented when more exist.
