Isabella Cavazos - Austin has always been special because of the balance between the city and nature. Growing up here, Barton Springs, the green spaces, the wildlife, and the overall natural beauty are what made Austin feel like Austin. I understand the city is growing and technology is becoming a bigger part of it, but I really hope we don't lose the things that give this place its soul. Protecting our wildlife and natural spaces should matter just as much as building new developments. Once that part is gone, it changes the heart of the city completely.
