^I'm typically not hard-line anti-sprawl, but... yeah, what Nashvillain said.

Actually I think the stats prove that we HAVE been preserving farmland, and that this development is much more positive than other possibilities. Pay close attention to the amount of green space that this development will keep open. Let's keep a little perspective here... a few years ago, this site could have become a landfill. And almost as bad - it could have become another cookie-cutter residential neighborhood. And the money that this can potentially plug into the economy, and thusly metro, a whole lot of good can come of that - including protecting *other* land for special purposes.
