I prefer open space, ... We always hoped that it would stay that

We're not anti-development. We're for balancing development with open space. Developers realize this aligns them with the people who are moving to our community. I think they realize how important this is.

Yes, limits can be self-imposed. But, as regards space, especially, they're starting to dwindle. It can be the same way for people.

For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.

It's also nice because it can be made ahead of time and frozen.

They make decisions that will outlive all of us. It's not a body to be taken lightly and it needs to be populated by the most dedicated, most capable, and most principled among us.
