Since the
1940s, southern California has had a reputation
for smog. Things are not as bad as they
once were but, according to the
American Lung Association, Los Angeles is still
the worst city in the
United States for

As Tourists Crowd Out
Locals, Venice Faces ‘Endangered’ List
A) On a recent fall morning, a large
crowd blocked the steps at one of Venice’s main
tourist sites, the
Rialto Bridge. The
Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning
the Grand Canal. It is the
oldest
bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line
between the districts of San Marco and
San Polo. But on this day, there was a
twist: it was tilled with Venetians, not
tourists.
B)
“People
are
cheering
and
holding
their
carts
in
the
air,”
says
Giovanni
Giorgio,
who
helped
organize the march with a
grass
-
roots organization
called Generazione ’90. The carts he refers to
are small shopping carts—the symbol of
a true Venetian. “It started as a joke,” he says
with a laugh.
“The idea was to put
blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur.
Precisely like that, you just
go around
and run people down.”
C) Venice is one of the hottest tourist
destinations in the world. But that’s a problem.
Up to 90,000
tourists crowd its streets
and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55,000
permanent residents.
The tourist
increase is one key reason the city’s population
is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. The
outnumbered Venetians have been
steadily fleeing. And those who stick around are
tired of living
in
a
place
where
they
can’t
even
get
to
the
market
without
swimming
through
a
sea
of
picture
-
snapping
tourists. Imagine, navigating through 50,000
people while on the way to school or
to
work.
D) Laura
Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local
and national governments have failed to do
anything
about
the
crowds
for
decades,
because
they’re
only
interested
in
tourism—the
primary
industry
in
Venice,
worth
more
than
$$3
billion
in
2015.
“Venice
is
a
cash
cow,”
she
says,
“and
everyone wants a piece.”
E) Just beyond St. Mark’s
Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds
every year that appear over
their
medieval
(
中世纪的
) surroundings. Their
massive wake creates waves at the
bottom of the
sea,
weakening
the
foundations
of
the
centuries
-
old
buildings
themselves.
“Every
time
I
see
a
cruise
ship, I feel sad,” Chigi says. “You see the mud it
drags; the destruction it leaves in its wake?
That
hurts
the
ancient
wooden
poles
holding
up
the
city
underwater.
One
day
we’ll
see
Venice
break
down.”
F) For a
time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United
Nations, seemed to agree. Two years ago, it
put
Italy
on
notice,
saying
the
government
was
not
protecting
Venice.
UNESCO
considers
the
entire city a World
Heritage Site, a great honor that means Venice, at
the cultural level, belongs to
all of
the world’s people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two
years to manage Venice’s flourishing
tourism or the city would be placed on
another list—World Heritage In Danger, joining
such sites
as Aleppo and Palmyra,
destroyed by the war in Syria.
G) Venice’s deadline passed
with barely a
murmur
(
嘟哝
) this summer, just as
UNESCO was meeting
in Istanbul. Only
one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried
to raise the issue. “For several
