      <description><![CDATA[Richard Lambert, Sooke, BC<p>Financial tools do not measure the true worth of our planets green space as our money system is way out of sync with our needs. Please do not build on this or alter it in any way. I value our natural inheritance more than my possessions, most of us do, so please think carefully and try to develop small corridors where we live and leave the rest.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Cory Clements, Victoria, B.C.<p>My 1st ugly experience on the island was climbing Mt. Finlayson only to get to the top and see/hear bulldozers taking off the top of &quot;BARE mountain&quot;. If you want to see what the future of the island is, take a look at Ontario and the Eastern side of the country. No trees, just urban sprawl. Ugly, Ugly people. Ugly attitudes.. The entire Bear Mountain destructionment and area, interchange is dispicable. You should be ashamed if you live or play golf there.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Stuart Bruce, Victoria, BC<p>We have to remember that we are not creating more GREEN space and ALR at the same time as we develop land. On the surface we can be dismissed as nimbys, but when has &quot;take, take, take&quot; been words of the wise? Of course change is inevitable - as long as it is for the benefit of the next generations and not just to line the pockets of this one. Remember &quot;you cannot eat money&quot;.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jeremy Fyke, Victoria, BC<p>I am absolutely opposed to further Bear Mountain development.  I, and 100% of my friends and colleagues are disappointed by the present development and are dismayed to learn of plans to expand further.  My primary reason for opposition is the scar that Bear Mountain presents to the eye from Mt. Findlayson.  No consideration was given to the many users of the park, who travel there to escape the city and enjoy the greenspace, only to be presented with a panorama of golf greens and condominiums.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ruth Nicholl, Victoria, BC<p>It will be a disaster for wild animals if this sort of development continues. Where can they go, the deer, cougars, bears? The people in these new &quot;homes&quot; (many of them second or third ones) won&#039;t welcome the animals they displaced, will they?  No: they&#039;ll call wildlife control and the animals will be tranquilized and moved... but where can they go? Think about it!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Paul Hawkes-Frost, Victoria, BC<p>Adamently No to altering the Urban Containment Boundary. This is another step and a large one, toward ruining the way of life that people come here seeking. I particularly resent this being done for the benefit only of the Bear Mountain developers.</p>]]></description>

I dearly love the place but I do not want to see more urban sprawl when our green spaces are dwindling.  There are better ways to provide housing in victoria and since we are such a new city in comparison to the rest of the world we have to opportunity to create a new and progressive way to live in a steady state with the natural world instead of chopping down all the greenery to create mass housing as they did in goldsteam.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[David Craggs, Victoria, B.C.<p>I oppose the entire Bear Mountain development on the grounds that every aspect of the project  is of such poor design quality.  I resent its scarring visibility from so many areas of the city,  and now, southbound  from the Malahat highway.  I also see this project as the proverbial &#039;thin edge of the wedge&#039;;  the approval of the ammendment for this project will inevitably encourage other developers,  and the beauty of the malahat and beyond will be spoiled FOREVER.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Lauren Dake, Victoria, BC<p>Do not ammend the Regional Growth Strategy. There is already too much urban sprawl in CRD. The Bear Mountain Resort is an abomination and no more damage should be done to irreplacable green space! The quality of life for present and future generations should take precedent over greed!</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[john Fokkema, victoria, BC<p>I love the rural setting of the Highland area seeing what has happened up at Bear Mountain is a shame!<br />
I am not against development but lets try to do it green.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[gary dromarsky, victoria, bc<p>If developers wish to make money from developing cheaper lands, they should be required to pay for and thereby charge for services required to inhabit those properties. The taxpayers should not be paying for developers to profit from urban sprawl!</p>]]></description>
