Read the paragraph from "Is Drexel Commons Needed?"

I know people are excited about Drexel Commons. Its outdoor design has become popular in several areas of the country. But will it become a mild-weather-only shopping option? We have snowy winters, rainy springs, warm summers, and cool autumns. Shasta residents enjoy all season with enthusiasm.

In this passage, how does the author distinguish his or her opinion from that of others?
