The following appeared in a recommendation from the planning department of the city of Transopolis.

Ten years ago, as part of a comprehensive urban renewal program, the city of Transopolis adapted for industrial use a large area of severely substandard housing near the freeway. Subsequently, several factories were constructed there, crime rates in the area declined, and property tax revenues for the entire city increased. To further revitalize the city, we should now take similar action in a declining residential area on the opposite side of the city. Since some houses and apartments in existing nearby neighborhoods are currently unoccupied, alternate housing for those displaced by this action will be readily available.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

Argument: To further revitalize the city, we should now take similar action made 10-year ago in a declining residential area on the opposite side of the city.

論証1: Crime rates in the area of a renewal substandard housing near the freeway declined


論証2: Property tax revenues for the entire city where has been renewed from a substandard housing near the freeway increased.

論証3: . To further revitalize the city, we should now take similar action in a declining residential area on the opposite side of the city. Since some houses and apartments in existing nearby neighborhoods are currently unoccupied, alternate housing for those displaced by this action will be readily available.

Ina recommendation, the writer suggests that in order to further revitalize the city, they should follow the renewable plan approached in 10-year ago to renew a declining residential area located on the appositive side of the city, citing the evidence about the decrease in the crime rates related to the renewed area and the increase in the property tax revenues for the entire city. In order to evaluate the argument, the specific evidence about the why the crime rates in a renewed area decrease, how is the contribution of the renewed area to the city’s property tax, and whether the renewable idea can be used for revitalizing an area located in the opposite side of the city is needed.

To begin with, the evidence about why the crime rate in a renewed area has decreased is needed to evaluate the writer’ claim that after completion of the renewable program for a large area of severely substandard housing near the freeway, the crime rate of the territory has decreased. 我需要了解的証明包括重建是否單一因素影響犯罪率。如果重建不是單一的因素影響犯罪率, 相反地, 其他因素 – 包括增加警力維持治安和市民提高警戒心 – 影響了當地的犯罪活動。作者的假說就會被weakened.

Furthermore, the evidence about the contribution of the renewed region to the entire city’s property tax revenue is needed to evaluate the writer’s argument that the renewal program approached in 10-year ago has a positive impact on the city’s property tax revenue. 我需要了解的証明包括重建後的地區是否為整個城市創造更多的物業稅收 OR 是否刺激了整個城市的物業稅收。如果重建後的地區不但為政府提出了可觀的物業稅收, 而且刺激了整個城市的物業發展。作者的假說可以被strengthened。相反地, 重建後的地區只佔了整個城市物業稅收相對小的比例 和 整個城市物業發展是受到其他因素影響。作者的假說便僧被weakened.

Additionally, the evidence about whether we should take the same action approached 10-year ago to renew an area located on the other side of the city is needed to evaluate the writer’s argument that to further revitalize the city, they should follow the approach used in the past to renew a declining residential area. 我需要了解的証明包括工業用途的重建計劃是否可以在現行的情況實行。如果現行的情況是不再需要工業發展 – 城市現在注重其他非工業的發展 – 運用以前的工業為主的重建計劃來重建現在的城方是沒有作用的。在這一情況下,作者的論說就會得不到支持。另一方面, 如果displaced的人不願意前往重建地地方居住, 這一個計劃並不可以revitalize the city.
