CA by far would have had the most people buying prius' etc... & will probably still see that. But with gas back down it has slowed alot but in CA people i think are starting to see. LA air quality has improved alot during the last 2 decades about. And because of this San Diego should not get has bad has LA area.

Smog is more widespread than it used to be in California decades ago but overall the air quality is improving. I hate to see smog in the San Joaquin valley that blows in from the Bay Area because as a kid there was no smog in the Central Valley. Also Palm Springs & the Coachella valley gets LA smog [over 100 miles away!]. The Port of Los Angeles generates a lot of pollution that will be reduced significantly when new regulations are implemented on the ships in the harbor.

Last summer I was at my desert house in Borrego Springs & for a long time there was a thick haze all the way from SD to Borrego. There was lots of fires in the North so i wonder if it was that but im not sure. If the smog is getting out there then we have a problem. It was so weird though because you could barley see the mountains.

Dont live too close to the freeway and you will be fine. Otherwise you will find that pollution levels in SD. can rival LA. Especially at rush hour. Sounds easy, but living away from the freeway in SoCal is no easy task. There are so many freeways here. I can hear the 8 freeway from bedroom. And i live 1.5 miles from the 8. Also, i would not live within 20 miles of TJ. Since the pollution from the border traffic and TJ. in general is noxious. Since cars are idling 24hrs. a day waiting to cross the border. Good luck.
