OT: Top 10 Most Polluted Cities In America

[Enigma869]

I was a bit surprised that so many mid-west cities appeared on this list, but number one shouldn't be a shock to anyone.

John just busts on other cities to divert attention to his own towns problems. You know you've got some John. Big Dig. Logan. Two huge messes there.

I'm pretty sure that I don't put any of these lists together, my friend! Boston is a whole lot of things, but filthy and polluted it is NOT! It's a world class city that draws endless tourists, so keeping the city clean is a priority. You'll NEVER hear me defend the debacle that was "The Big Dig". As for Logan...it's no better and no worse than any other major, international airport that I've been through, in my travels.

Now...back to the topic at hand...How the hell is it that all these midwest, "Heartland of America" cities are so polluted? As I said, Los Angeles trails only China in pollution, so that was no shock, but many of the other cities on the list surprised me. Where the heck is "Journey/Survivor" to defend his beloved "Mistake By The Lake"

The page is taking forever to load, so I haven't seen it.

I'm assuming that since you bring me up it must mention Cleveland?

When I saw the title of the thread and I saw that it was YOU that posted this, I figured it must name Cleveland.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen these "official" lists that will name Cleveland in some bad way, only to have some other "official" list completely contradict the first one. I don't just say this about ones that name Cleveland, I say this about all of these lists, their a joke, their anything but accurate on a regular basis.

A few years ago some newspaper writer in Los Angeles wrote an article about pollution, he described something that was very polluted and he followed it up by saying "that's like breathing Cleveland." Funny thing is that "official" studies showed that Los Angeles air was literally something like 50 times more polluted than the air in Cleveland.

Also a few years ago some bottled water company was saying on their labels that their water is pure because "it's not bottled in Cleveland." So the news ran tests at a lab and found out that across the board Cleveland's tap water was far more clean and pure than that companies bottled water. In fact I have heard countless reports that say that Cleveland's tap water ranks as some of the cleanest tap water from any city in America. When the local news here contacted that bottled water company for their comments they said "it was only a joke, we weren't intending that to be taken seriously."

It just shows that if enough of these talentless hack late night talk show hosts keep making Cleveland jokes because they don't have the talent to come up with something new and original then people are going to be stupid enough to believe them even though there's nothing to back it up.

I've been in 42 of the 50 states in America, I've been in tons of the major cities, and I can tell you for a fact from first hand knowledge that there are many, many cities in America that are far more polluted than Cleveland.

And if Cleveland's air isn't among the very cleanest, you have to keep in mind that we are one of the main cities in America for steel and automobile production. With all of these steel mills and automobile plants it's to be expected that your gonna have some air pollution.

Nothing in Texas. I'm a bit suprised Dallas didn't make it anywhere on the list.

They sure made it where traffic is concerned. I hate going to Dallas, I only go there when I absolutely have to.

Didn't see Visalia coming... seems kind of too small to qualify.

I love how the pic for LA actually looks pretty and clear. Way to make your point! haha

I've been there. My grandmother used to live in Lindsay. We have been all over that area. Including Hanford.

Traffic on 45/75 and 35E is always just horrible. Fuckin' hate driving through that crap.

Yep, it's that way in all the big cities in Texas. Austin has horrible traffic. San Antonio, which is now the second largest city in Texas, has horrible traffic. And we all know how traffic is in Houston.

Austin is bad. SA...I haven't been there recently so I can't say. But Houston is REALLY easy for me to deal with for some reason. Guess it's the lack of construction that's rampant in the other ones.

We live in LA and we can tell you it is a shithole. Illegals running around eating burritos while they hang precariously from overpasses spray painting stuff you cannot even read.

Smog so thick lightning couldn't cut it.

LA sucks. Cannot wait to leave here.

Spokane, here we come.

I actually find San Antonio relatively easy to get around, considering 1.2 million people. Austin, Dallas, Houston, uh, not so much. I'm not sure that Austin isn't the worst of the bunch these days....................

San Antonio is a lot easier to drive in than Houston or Dallas. It sure doesn't seem bigger than Dallas. That surprised me.

Yup.. definitely apples and oranges compared to San Francisco.

Where near LAX? West of the 405 over there is actually kinda swanky (Manhattan Beach etc)

You must have been in Inglewood.

The area we were in was far from swanky. It was on W. Century Blvd., about a half mile from LAX.

BTW, nice av...I'm jealous (*sigh*)
