Question

If approved, the new park would be the largest and most popular park in our city’s park system. The benefits of the park justify the cost of its construction. More than a thousand families live within walking distance of the park. Reports show that urban areas in which neighbors know one another are safer and have less crime than areas where the neighbors do not.
