Well... Maybe the air quality is not all that great. Apparently air
quality took a turn for the worse in 2016 (reminder: that was Trump 1.0).

That's debatable.
LA's air is better, so is Mexico City's.
Both of them have far worse traffic, and summers are getting so much
hotter such that you can't be outside. Phoenix is probably going to be
impossible to be outside in 10 or 15 years (they had 70 days over 110
in 2024).
Love canal is probably better off.
Coal burning is at an all-time low; mainly because it's so expensive,
but the new administration wants to reverse that (I personally think
the economics make that highly unlikely).
Good riddance agent orange.
DDT is still used a lot in 3rd world (and some 2nd world) countries.
The damming of rivers is on the decline a little, but maybe not
enough. We haven't yet figured out how to store water (enough) without
f**king up the ecosystem.
and there are many places running out of water (see above).

Anyone remember smog in LA or worse yet - Mexico City 55 years ago?
Love canal? Cities with coal burning industries and power plants?
Agent orange. DDT.
