MODERATORS
How does anyone still live there at this point? Last year's fires were absolutely brutal on air quality there for like a month solid.
Planning note to live here soon enough.
Clarifying: moving.
I'm really sorry you need to, but considering how bad it's been, it's totally reasonable. People can't live like that long-term.
We all are going to have to live like this long term. In 50 years there won't be any forests, they'll be reduced to deserts or low scrub. Oregon is the new Arizona.
