Consider this claim:
Urban sprawl-the rise of low-density suburbs outside of urban centers-should be
severely restricted because of the financial burden it puts on government agencies.
Which is the strongest evidence to support the claim?
The low-density suburbs created by urban sprawl often require new roads and
highways, which are costly to build and maintain.
Many people who prefer to live outside urban areas cite the better reputation
of suburban school districts as one of their motivations for moving to a less
densely populated area.
An urban development manager explains that there are a variety of factors
that can contribute to urban sprawl, from low motor fuel taxes to preferences
for living in low-density areas.
