My grannies family got chucked off that land actually.

Sounds similar to what my uncle's family faced, when this electricity producing factories expanded their coal mines and kicked them out of their village. This people were Anatolian Greek refugees who were forced to ''migrate'' again, just 50 years after they had left their original homeland in Anatolia. My uncle's father used to make jokes about it, he was an optimistic man

The most polluted place I've been has been Los Angeles, CA. Just spending a day there I felt sick even in the hotel room. San Francisco, CA is a very clean city in comparison because it's right next to the bay. The bay takes all the pollution away. I've never really lived anywhere too polluted before.

Inversion is cool to look at when its fog, not so cool when its polluted smog..Originally Posted by Uhtred

Agreed, but in São Paulo city it is usually polluted smog, but you get clean and good fog in the countryside though.

Even some 3rd world countries are less polluted than Los Angeles lol. The smog is ridiculous.
