Air Pollution
Star Rating - 10/12/2010
Vista is not a healthy environment. With the building of two energy plants in Escondido in addition to the Carlsbad plant which blows its pollution east to Vista, plus the growth of the Carlsbad airport, and the horrendous traffic on the 5 and 78 freeways, pollution has grown immensely. Many people feel fatigued, suffer brain fog, etc. If you're sensitive to chemicals, this is NOT the place for you. All the advantages are negated by the chemical-filled skies which show up as a red or a violent-blue color well into the night. I plan to move!

I have industrial-grade PM2.5, PM10, VOC, NO2 and other air quality-related sensors in and around my home in Vista. They have never gone above "Mild". Having moved from San Diego proper, where they were regularly at the "Extreme" or "Severe" levels, I find this hard to understand. Are Escondido and Carlsbad somehow not also subject to the air quality issues you've experienced, even though the mentioned concerns are actually located there? Thanks for any additional info.
