It doesn't have anything to do with their political persuasion. When you crowd enough people together, driving cars and using electricity and all the things modern humans love to do, dense, highly-populated cities like NYC, Dallas, Phoenix, LA, etc. have higher concentrations of ozone and particulates (the AHLA maintains three separate lists ranking cities by ozone, long-term particulates, and short-term particulates). Conversely, cities with low density and low population generally have better air quality, but we're talking places like Casper, WY, Bangor, ME, and Decatur, IL, where not a lot of people live because they're in the sticks. Keep the politics to the Lounge, please.
