Horrific Air Pollution (& depressing area)

I spent 1 month living in RV up by Lake Arrowhead driving down to San Bernardino for misc. and looking down at it every time I drove the highway. It amazed me how many locals claimed the smog was caused by ocean, or fog. I guess the only way to deal with it if you cant or wont leave, is denial. Just do a internet search on air quality for san bernardino. I couldnt imagine living 10 years there let alone raising children.
It was even so bad up in mountains seeing the haze up high in the tall pines, that I actually caught myself twice thinking there was a forest fire but then no smoke smell. It all blows up from LA then adds in with local pollution, and gets funneled and trapped by the mountains there.
On top of that, even the nicest and newest area in town was full of homeless people begging and the depressing visuals of a town going downhill. Very sad and depressing. Sometimes scary.
