It’s inversion. All the pollutants that normally ascend higher up into the atmosphere are currently trapped underneath this cloud layer, at ground level. This usually happens during the colder months, at least once a year. Sometimes it smells like burning or melting plastic, sometimes like a sweet perfume, just depends on which industries you live nearby and down wind from.

Had a gf once who owned a Geo Tracker. Thing weighed nothing. On highways she’d get right up on trucks and then just let go of the wheel. The drag caused by the truck would pull her along at speed. I almost shit my pants the first time.

Just sounds like millionaire beach house owners last desperate attempt to try and not have to look out their beachfront windows at windmills in the distance. The people who live a mile inland don’t give a shit about your ruined Airbnbs, but they do give a shit about lower energy bills.
