You can vote if you live outside NV, I just did.
Select the bill first using the index function on the left, because if you fill in the other stuff first then select, it gets erased.
I entered a comment to explain why a non-NV resident was commenting - you only have 510 characters so here's my little comment:
"I am a California resident who visits NV for 2 weeks each year to climb at Red Rocks (and spend money in Las Vegas). If the experience at Red Rocks is destroyed by a huge housing development, I will choose other locations with a better outdoor experience. Please protect the viewshed and make a long-term investment in the attractiveness of Las Vegas!"
Of course if you want to live there, don't mind the development and traffic (think the loop road is crowded NOW?), and could afford the high-end house prices, feel free to ask that they reject the bill and build 8,000 houses there...

Don't worry, at the current rate of expansion, LV will be out of water in under ten years. They'll leave sooner or later.
(That's not BS either, look it up)

No they won't, they will just take LA and Soviet Monica's allotment straight from Lake Mead.

They already take their money, why not take their water?
On the subject matter, placed a vote for you Chris...although, being a staunch private property rights advocate, I am kind of being a hypocrite. I really hope the developers decide not to build there without the government telling them not to.

Looks like Nevada voters aren't any smarter than Florida voters. Look at the below comments from people that voted against the bill when a vote for it is what they actually wanted. They were too stupid to read the bill to know what it meant.
Against Please keep our parks free of homes
Against There aren't many places in the world people can visit as beautiful as this area. Many animals in the wild call this area home and this would be another form of encroachment, which in turn would lead to more people encountering wildlife in "their backyard". Some areas should be saved for our children to view and enjoy and this is one. Not every open field needs to have a house put on it.
Against I am for the preservation of one of your most beautiful assets, Red Rock Cyn. We visit often.
Against The adulteration and rape of our land must end.
Against I can only hope this land would not be use for residential or commercial. It would certainly destroy the beauty of Red Rock Canyon.
We are already over populated. Maybe an effort to prevent excessive inflow of out-of-state residents would help our neverending environmental problems! In addition, although debateable, Red Rock is the only natural beauty that can be enjoyed by everyone. Additional development of land will ruin the beauty.
Why is it that one of the most beautiful place right here has to block by building and create more havoc with pollution and heat because of more cement absorbing the sun rays? We have plenty of other spots for building. I take all the tourist out there, not to mention that it is well know through out the world as the best place to climb rocks ect...
