@ModerateOsprey, I grew up in rural Wisconsin....deep woods rural, and I hear you about the smoke fires. Pretty much everyone had to have fireplaces and/or wood-burning stoves in their homes because in Winter the power could get knocked out by ice storms and be out for days. We also had to do burns every fall, not just leaves, but also all the many twigs and branches that fell onto the lawn and pastures over the spring, summer and fall.
It was a very hilly area, so the smoke would just hang in the valley communities. I rather liked the smell, much more of a natural smelling smoke than the cities I have lived in. :lol:
As for getting your own communities to move toward industrial, it goes fastest if you also avoid the "green" things. So set lights indoors to be always on rather than auto-lit, don't have a garden, etc. All of my homes in Henford-on-Bagley have multiple fireplaces, but with auto-lights enabled and a garden, they all have slowly drifted toward green.
