I live in Dearborn which according to the stats has the worst air
quality in the state. I am pretty sure the neighborhoods used to be as
lilly white as white can be, (hello Orville Hubbard) and I am also sure
the pollution was just as high then as it is now. Neighborhoods are
arabic, white and black, and the pollution still makes it impossible to enjoy a
nice summer day.
Companies offer reasons for people not to fight backlow low taxes,
etc) or build in areas where low-income people can't fight
back. ( I think that race (there really is only human race,
its H s sapiens) has very little to do with it. Color has a lot to do
with it, the color is green.
