In his message Re: NEWS: True costs of Com..., Mr. Stead cites Pittsburg
as an example of a smoggy city. I assume Mr. Stead is refering to
Pittsburgh, PA. If this is correct, I would take exception to your
characterization of what Rand McNally has called the country's "Most
Livable City". Your description of my town WAS accurate many years ago.
But, during the 1950's and 1960's, Pittsburgh cleaned up it's air and
water and polished up the skyline in what was called Renaissance I. This
was complimented by Renaissance II in the 1980's( a furthuring of these
efforts). Today, Pittsburgh has amoung the cleanest air and water of any
american city.
