Not sure what to say?  Here are some sample comments for you:

Example 1

I support the No Project Alternative because the DEIR admits significant and unavoidable visual harm. This would degrade our scenic desert community and negatively impact the JTNP gateway economy.

Example 2

Please choose the No Project Alternative. Twentynine Palms is extremely windy, and mass grading on the scale disclosed in the DEIR (a volume of ~528,000 cubic yards or ~50,000 dump trucks) creates unacceptable long-term dust and health risks for nearby residents and community spaces.

Example 3

I urge the City to choose the No Project Alternative because the DEIR shows the project would require mass grading of pristine desert soil in a wildlife corridor that includes desert tortoise habitat. This would cause long-term habitat loss and harm to our rare local population of the endangered desert tortoise.

Thank you!
