Because the waterfront wasn't desirable property untill we started caring about what was being dumped into it.
It severely floods every spring and was literally covered in floating foamy waste until the late 80s.
Attitudes have changed towards it considerably in the last 30 years.

I know someone who’s family long ago owned a very large section of waterfront property in Fairfield county. It wasn’t all that valuable back then.
