If you had 400 cities, and 399 were clear as a bell, and 1 had a single little puff of smoke, it could still be called "the smoggiest city out of 400." Air quality everywhere is probably better than it's been in 50 years, especially in industrial cities. Is this due to regulation? At least partly, though it's also due to public pressure, cleaner technology, and less use of the 'dirtier' methods simply by attrition. This amount of regulation isn't a bad thing. Don't misunderstand, I don't think we should get rid of ALL regulation. there have to be SOME standards, after all. However, we are now reaching the point of diminishing returns, where overregulation is beginning to have detrimental effects, such as increasing prices (due to the cost of complying with regulations and paperwork).
