No denying that. But since the air is now clean in what is perhaps the worst environmental location (LA is a basin so emissions tend to linger), then do we need to reduce emissions even further? [Vehicle emissions at least. Plenty of other emissions sources exist.]
If LA was that clean 10 years ago, do we need today's tighter limits? Or have we reached a "good enough" point?
