The only realistic approach to reducing Red Zone pollution in San Diego is focusing support for electrification of the diesel and gas transport sector. Heavy industry within embedded neighborhoods are not good candidates for LEZ. Pink Zone could be LEZed as they overlay our local freeways... but we still need to solve for those unsupported "last few miles" to the transport corridors. (Bicycles/skateboards are not options for us older/risk adverse folks.)

Ms. Eliz, that makes the most sense. From my recollection, Bario Logan tried to restrict pollution from the industries in that area, but the businesses got a referendum on the San Diego ballot to overrule it. They won. I have a hard time imagining any portion of San Diego becoming an LEZ. I have a hard time imagining it for any U.S. city besides Portland.
