Interesting, they're all on the East Coast or Mid West. I've noticed that my Asthma is not nearly as bad now that I live in California. When I lived in the Boston area it was really bad. My guess is that the dryer air we have out here is better than humid air. I would have thought, however, that LA would have been near the top of the list though, their air is horrible.

Did Kansas City make the top 100?

DEAR LOVED ONES..

PLEASE NOTE......

THIS is a classic example of "READING INTO SOMETHING".

This is how ALL the problems in the world begin..

PEOPLE in their heads.

ANALYSIS...

rather than ACCEPTING what IS..

I LOVE YOU

SPAZ420- thank you for the awesome example.. YOU ROCK!!!!!


I love you

What Garden Knewthem is saying is "accept the problems. Once you analyze them you're creating new problems, so if you never bothered to try and fix the problem, the first time around, you would've been better off."

If your ugly, don't try to fix it.

According to that, I have lived in the worst asthma cities all my life. Weird, because I don't have asthma.

Fengzi,
Thanks for putting my "quote" in your sig. I'm truly touched. Beachguy, I can't believe that LA is not on the list. It's still one of the most polluted cities in the country isn't it?

[2toker]

i appreciate your input. you are obviously an observant and aware person. it's not hard to seperate the men from the boys on this board. the cities you list are mostly east of the mississippi. i would postulate that there is a forest type in the east that we dont have in the west. there are no oaks in the west to speak of and they are a major contibutor to pollen. the east is more industrialized, the east has more dense cities in terms of population per square mile. they say the major cause of asthma in NYC is cockroach dust. seems so many die that the dust from dead roaches permeates NYC.

[STDzRus]

The west coast is the best place to live for those with asthma.

The air is moderately cleaner (although still not clean) and the weather is dry, whereas you have humidity to the east and in the midwest.

It's the Alaskan vs. the Carribean Ocean Current.

A girl in New Orleans told me that I wouldn't want to live there unless I like it hot, sticky, and humid.
