Never lived in NYC but if you consider our air quality a plus I'm concerned for your lungs. Not wrong about Denver people on a macro level, but if you can find your own group of weirdos it's a very fun city to live in (or at least, I'm greatly enjoying it). Very laissez-faire vibe here right now IMO, feels like you can do pretty much whatever you want so long as nobody's getting hurt.
- TechDebtDevin 2y agoI was saying Denver air quality is one of the few Pros in this comparison. Denver typically has a pretty low AQI and ranks in the top 10 cleanest air for Ozone levels. You're simply wrong. As an asthmatic who runs daily I will check the AQI before any outdoor exercise, we have great air quality on most days. Today is an exception.
- tech_ken 2y agoI mean I’m not an asthmatic but this random .org seems to contradict you? Or do I have what you’re saying backwards? https://www.lung.org/media/press-releases/state-of-the-air-colorado https://www.lung.org/media/press-releases/state-of-the-air-c... https://www.lung.org/research/sota/city-rankings/compare-your-air?msa1=New%20York-Newark,%20NY-NJ-CT-PA&msa2=Denver-Aurora,%20CO https://www.lung.org/research/sota/city-rankings/compare-you...
- TechDebtDevin 2y agoI may have misread rankings but I personally check AQIs daily and it's rare for me to have to cancel run here due to air quality but it can happen. I've only been here 2.5 years and there hasn't been so much smoke these past couple summers. Denver likely has had terrible years for air quality due to heavy wildfires and I just haven't experienced that yet.
