Fresh Air in NC??? (Raleigh: subdivisions, live, gas)

[CJ-FROM-NJ]

Good morning Everyone,

I was on my way to work this morning in NJ and I was thinking to myself "this place really smells bad." I mean the air is just so polluted. I was wondering...for the people who lived in big cities or even anywhere in NY or NJ for that matter.....is the air fresher down there in NC? Is air fresh around the Raleigh area or just as bad as NY & NJ?

Not even close.....sure, it's not perfect, clean country air...but it's not NJ air by a long shot.

Of course, if this rampant sprawl continues, developers keep on knocking down forests and wetlands to build these big subdivisions where people driving gas guzzling SUVs all over long distances continues on....then that air won't be so fresh for very long.
