Californian cities rank among the dirtiest in America, with ten cities in the Golden State tying for the worst median air quality in the U.S., according to the lawn care website known as LawnStarter.

San Bernardino was named the dirtiest city in America, with Los Angeles not far behind, according to the LawnStarter analysis. Though Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has pushed for aggressive climate goals that have led to stringent regulations and routed billions into green energy initiatives, numerous cities in his state still rank among the most polluted in America, according to LawnStarter.

“San Bernardino, California, ranks as the dirtiest city for the 2nd year in a row,” the analysis states. “Out of the cities in our ranking, San Bernardino has the highest share of residents dissatisfied with pollution — 75% — and ties with 9 other California cities with the worst median air quality.”

Some things are just resistant to change.  I can remember in the 70s my ship operating 40-50 miles off San Diego and having smog banks to operate in.

The Green stuff is only for the limousine liberal NIMBY's.  Every other Californian is doomed to a life of squalor, crime, and wildfires.  Some, like Governor Greaseball, are more equal than others.

While industry contribute to California's smog, geography also kept the smoke and haze hanging around. Maybe if the fictional Clampetts had invested in the fictional fans in the mountains all would be well.
