Houston - The nation's smelliest city…
www.statesman.com/ne ws/article/smelliest -cities-texas-housto n-el-paso-odor- " Several factors create Houston's unpleasant odor, as documented in the study. It's home to 687 industrial facilities and had 63 days of unhealthy air quality in 2024. There were nearly 50 sewage complaints per 100,000 residents, and over half a million pet-owning households also likely contribute to the overall smell.
Houston's odor beat out Los Angeles (No. 2) and New York City (No. 3)."

Having just been to NYC a few weeks ago, in my experience Houston is like a breath of fresh air in comparison.

The only area I've noticed, is around the ship channel. Houston doesn't smell bad, if you've been to northern cities.
seem2 : New York smells like truck exhaust and weed
Yikes that is not the accolade I want for our city, but I am not surprised.

That's disappointing to hear, and I disagree with this list. You notice a smell right away when you get into NY, but I haven't been to Los Angeles. New Orleans should definitely be high up on the list, too.
To be fair, on really humid, muggy mornings, there is a bit of an icky, musty smell in the air here. Still nothing compared to NYC.
