Damn, I’m about to go to Mexico City—was planning to stay for a few months, but I hate dirty air. Is it like that all over the city, or just certain parts?

- stevenwoo 7y agoI stayed for a week for work ( lot of traffic that seemed typical after walking around, San Miguel Chapultepec, Mexico City, Federal District) in mornings when I awoke and blew my nose into paper tissue it was dark with the dirt? filtered by I guess my nose/respiratory system. This has never happened to me in Northern California or living near downtown Houston/Austin, Texas.
- fyfy18 7y agoThat happens to me when I was living in London too.
- frandroid 7y agoMexico City sits in a former volcano, so the air pollution of one of the world's largest metropolitan areas is trapped in there.
- lobo_tuerto 7y agoIt's a valley, not a volcano.
- josu 7y agoIt's definitely better/worse in some areas. Condesa is probably your best option.
