Would you call LA in 70s the same

I actually lived in LA for a while in the 70's, and while it could be very bad on some days I don't think that on the worst day it was ever as bad as Beijing currently.

From the WSJ:

According to the government monitoring, levels of PM2.5 particles were above 700 micrograms per cubic meter on Saturday, and declined by Monday to levels around 350 micrograms — but still way above the World Health Organization's safety levels of 25.

In separate monitoring by the U.S. Embassy, levels peaked Saturday at 886 micrograms — and the air quality was labeled as "beyond index."

All that is needed to make a happy life is within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius
