Why the East Ends of (Most) Cities are Poorer
- Between 30 and 60 degrees latitude, westerlies are what wind scientists call prevailing winds because when another wind challenges them for wind-direction-supremacy, the westerlies always prevail.
- For much of the 19th century, pollution released into the air floated out of downtown chimneys in all its dark, noxious splendor, and caught a lift on the prevailing westerlies, which brought the pollution eastward, where it tickled the noses and lunges of east siders from Manchester to Helsinki.
