Economautists are the only people who think just like me. (Check out how they measure the cost of increased dementia through air pollution to society) http://www.nber.org/papers/w24970 pic.twitter.com/ntcqAli6fi

Los Angeles didn't have too much heavy industry. The local steel plant was built far inland in Fontana during WWII to be out of range of the guns of Japanese battleships. Air pollution was horrific in Fontana. I knew a guy on Fontana HS cross-country team; they trained at night.
Yikes that is grim. Hear similar things from friends in China who only exercise in indoor, air filtered gyms
Fortunately, most people in Southern California lived upwind from the far inland Fontana steel mill. Ironically, pollution control benefited real estate values of Chinese the most because in 1970s they started moving to inland San Gabriel Valley because they didn't mind smog.
Today, beautiful old-time San Gabriel Valley suburbs of L.A. like Pasadena, San Marino, and Arcadia are smog free and heavily Chinese because they started buying in during the cheap smog years because they didn't care about going outside.
That's fascinating. I've only had a couple of quick trips to LA so it's new territory for me - next time I will grab a history book and do a proper tour
