You are probably right-and is it supposed to affect Hispanics more frequently? I don’t even know of anyone in my huge family with it-maybe city-bred people get asthma more. That makes some sense if air purity is a factor, I suppose. When I was little, I heard female relatives saying most kids “outgrew” some things like allergies, etc.
I’ve never liked SA much at all, and I lived there most of the time since 1970-there is just something as insane as Austin about it. It is a pretty enough place, but there has been too much concentrated development so that there isn’t room to be alone or have complete silence-and the light pollution is awful. Also, most of the people waste resources at an alarming rate both at home and at their businesses-especially water.
We liked the people and made some great friends there, who we have kept. And asthma in the Mexican American communities is like diabetes in the Native Americans. Higher preponderance.
