Have you been to a US city? It's not any different even in liberal paradise San Francisco, let alone LA.
Hell, go to your nearby freeway overpass and put your hand on any hard surface like chain link or a street sign, it'll be filthy greasy black like a tailpipe. It was like that even in the little town of ~60k people I lived in for a few years.
