Chapter Four: Megalopolis

Mammoth Lakes lacks all of the site characteristics of a Megalopolis. As you can see from the view looking down on Twin Lakes it lacks a coastal location, it does not have a harbor, the year round temperatures are not mild or moderate and the terrain is nowhere near flat or gently rolling. Luckily Mammoth does lack the problems associated with a Megalopolis. There is plenty of fresh water and pollution is practically nonexistent...unless everyone is burning wood in their fireplaces all at the same time in the winter.
