Your fat, meat eating neighbors are the least of your problems.

Wait, Portland has bad air quality?
Real-time air quality index (https://waqi.info). Looks good
AirNow/EPA (https://airnow.gov). Looks good
Air Quality Index (https://aqicn.org/city/usa/oregon/portland/). Looks good.
American Lung Association rankings (https://www.lung.org/our-initiatives/healthy-air/sota/city-rankings/most-polluted-cities.html) looks good cause it isn't even on the list!

I'd like to see your sources now.

@5 Why do trolls always ask for sources? It's obvious you know how to use the internet. The information is out there and yet people who ask for sources never seem capable of finding the information themselves, like they live in a filtered world where the only information they can access is the information that supports their world view.

You realize most of those came out during wild fires right?

I'm not a troll. I'm just tired of everyone living in a bubble pretending everything is so bad. We have among the best air quality in the nation and the west coast for sure. 2018 was one of the worst fire seasons in a decade, and every source you posted was from August of 2018. Way to pick your sources. Now please visit mine, which are live up to the moment air quality indexes.

@Doomtown, I chose those links due to them being recent, because usually the biggest complaint is "those links are old and irrelevant" so let's try again...

The air quality and level of pollution in Portland and Oregon are problems (poor quality, full of pollutants). Sorry but the app telling you all is good with the air is not providing the truth of the matter.

There's more but I'm tired and you can find them yourself if you actually care about knowing the truth.
