There is worse industrial dumping in lower income areas. That absolutely is true, and it's usually slower to be picked up.
But long abandoned cars? The moco ag reserve, with its massive plots of multimillion dollar lots and mansions, has a litany of old abandoned cars along its woods and streams. Some are definitely from when the land was converted from abandoned farmland to parkspace, some seem like they may have been picked up and moved by the streams, some appear to have gone off the road and never been recovered, and there's one that I think about frequently that looks like it may have been driving on a railroad track far from any roads just ahead of a railroad bridge, realized a train was coming, and had to veer down a very steep stretch of about 200 yards, miraculously not hitting a big tree on the way to the edge of the stream. That was a 70s some car.
Its not racism that cars get left in nature, cars get left in nature because it's a massive pain in the ass and huge commitment of limited resources to get them out of nature. I genuinely don't think you could get the car by the railroad Bridge out without a helicopter. The focus of this article should have been the industrial dumping like the tire pile.
