Los Alamos
Reference: McCollough, David. John Adams. New York: Simon & Shuster. 2001. p.136.
Given the choices made by Los Alamos County voters, did they get what they wanted?
On the negative side, voters received wildfires, traffic congestion, rampant construction, loss of open space, shuttered businesses, crumbling infrastructure, and overreach by municipal government in the form of inept/regressive building construction practices as well as the Nuisance Code.
