NADG’s plan isn’t new

OMG! Did you see the front page of the Jan. 3 Los Alamos Monitor?  I guess I just don’t get it. Am I the only one who thinks the North American Development Group (NADG) proposal for Trinity Site is exactly what we already have?  
Just look at the drawing, come on folks, I could have come up with that for a lot less $$$. If this drawing depicts what “we” are looking for then gosh darn it plant a bunch of trees in the current Smith’s parking lot and have Smith’s expand into the property they already own.   
The exact same thing proposed by NADG can be accomplished with the area currently occupied. If this proposal is accepted, what happens to the area where Smiths is currently located? Does it become a vacant wasteland and lost revenues for those left behind?
Are we trading one area for another. At a minimum, both sides of Trinity must be considered for development, are we going to have one modern development on one side of the road and leave the old (and mostly vacant if Smith’s moves) on the other side of the road?
