Too bad the air in the city is so shitty / smoggy in reality compared to these “terrible polluting” outer suburbs and rural areas

I don't know what that has to do with my silly post/times joke, but yeah, I agree. I have coughing fits when I walk around some parts of the city due to the exhaust fumes. People illegally idling in their cars waiting for the street sweeper especially annoy me.

Yeah, and the biggest culprit is actually all the skyscrapers and the HVAC exhaust too. I love leaving the city and breathing fresh air like “oh yeah - THIS is what it’s supposed to be like” lol

I also work in Architecture

Logically speaking, think about the amount of energy being used by these office buildings. Constant cooling / heating or even server farms running 24/7
