In Milwaukee the sky is fucking green from all the smog and shit. When went there it was hard to breathe. I couldnt imagine going to New York.

    Country MFs on their 45 minute trip each way to get the bottle of milk they forgot on their weekly shopping trip before they get in a car crash and bleed out an hour later while still waiting for the ambulance:

    At least the sky isn't green

          I don't know I've never seen a green sky either. I'm not sure I would dismiss environmental concerns about city life as readily as others. I'm pretty sure if I had grown up in a less built up area some of the lung problems I have now I wouldn't

            the pollution in cities is invisible since the introduction of smog standards. emissions standards apply to all recent cars, and different (more expensive) gasoline blends are sold in metro areas. we still have carcinogens from metal shredders and stuff but you generally can't see it.

            today's haze is from wildfires

            the problem isn't the city, the problem is cars

            anyway, thanks to climate change fueled mega fires and micro plastics (cars again (tires)), we're all gonna have lung problems now

              yes but the cars are a part of life of living in the city currently. People attribute small towns to be racist but you could just as easily say the problem isn't the small town it is the racism
