It's deeply offensive to me that we might sacrifice irreplaceable -- and as such priceless -- wetlands and natural habitat just to help some rich developer get rich selling fancy houses to more rich people.

This Oxbow area is a wetland that is needed more now than ever. It is the voice of the people of ABQ stating that this area should be preserved and not developed. The people of ABQ will not benefit from the development and neither would the creatures that depend on this area. Money is not the only thing of value. Preserve the Oxbow!

Susie Poole was a very community-supportive lady who lent her property for use by many organizations especially for children and the performing arts. I'm sure she would have wanted her estate to be used as a public park for all of us to enjoy, rather than a site for luxury homes for the few. Diane Reuler

It would be an offense to nature to destroy these treasured wetlands.

We need to preserve this property as open space to maintain it for generations of neighboring urban dwellers as an escape to quiet and serene vistas.

Once this land is developed it will be gone forever. Do not do this. Stop it now.

Thank you legislators for your visionary support of natural and vibrant open spaces for education and well being for today and the future. This Wetland and others in NM are the very form of outdoor education that is critical for children & families together to learn of science and beauty. Together we are better.

We must not sacrifice our cultural and natural heritage for a typical, unneeded upscale subdivision. This is extraordinarily rare and irreplaceable open space with breathtaking majestic views. No matter the asking price, it's worth the value!

This is not good land for development for numerous reasons.

The Poole property is a buffer between existing development and the San Antonio Oxbow. Houses at the edge of the Oxbow will kill it.

The health of humans and the health of Nature is linked. Please ensure our common welfare is upheld. The degradation of the environment is the most fundamental economic loss we can suffer.

Responsible government officials have a duty to invest in - and preserve special lands for the future enjoyment of every NM resident.
