Why don't the other states pay us for providing them with reefs for their waterways?

My understanding is that the asbestos in the cars make recycling too expensive. Since the asbestos is only dangerous if airborne, putting them underwater is not harmful. Plus, they create artificial reefs for marine life --apparently, the eastern shelf is rather devoid of reefs.

I don't get it. Wouldn't it be more environmental if all of that metal gets recycled instead?

Hell we already got our artificial reef, courtesy of all the fine scrappers and chop shops in Willets Point.
