There was one reason - I wanted lake front property and needed someone that specialized in understanding lake front property specific issues (EPA - building - pollution - water sports - lake level fluctuations)She came right out and asked me why and I told her.

If the water pollution issue can get resolved, and it has never been closer to being resolved, that would go a long way in helping IB’s RE prices.  

I'm sure my lungs will also appreciate me being out of this horribly polluted air.2.

:Lots of comments on this thread on the death rate.If you have damaged lungs, such as due to pollution (Wuhan) and smoking (60% of Chinese Males smoke), CoronaVirus is much more deadly. 

Satellite images have shown a dramatic decline in pollution levels over China, which is "at least partly" due to an economic slowdown prompted by the coronavirus. 

China has a lot of air pollution, and that could be contributing to the high death rate, as the virus greatly affects the lungs.

You want to pollute your lungs, you're addicted I get it but Butts are trash don't throw on the ground or out your car window...  

My main need is for quiet and less pollution and crime.

@Mindy Jensen I just don’t like the amount of pollution in certain areas of west seattle adjacent to duwamish.

Towards the end, the pollution was bothering me so I bought an apartment in the South of France and have only been back to my home in Colombia briefly.
