In Baltimore, the population of the city's center has doubled in 10 years. Because of high demand, the city plans to significantly increase the number of housing units and apartments in the downtown area. In addition, new supermarkets have been established and improvements to the medical facilities have been made. Based on this information, which of the following will MOST LIKELY be the effects of these developments? Urban sprawl will increase. White flight will occur. Property taxes will increase in the area. The city will take the property, citing eminent domain, with no compensation to the owner. Traffic congestion will be reduced within the city.

@AZ @Angle

AZ:

okay so which answer choices can you eliminate so far?

Seafoam:

The 4th one is impossible I think

Seafoam:

Thats all I can cross off unfortunately

AZ:

yeah makes sense, what about E? If population is increase, what do you think will happen to the traffic

Seafoam:

Well of course it might increase, but if they are making a bigger area that would counteract it

AZ:

I don't think you could increase the size of the downtown- also it doesn't mention anything about infrastructure such as highway and roads

AZ:

Do you know what urban sprawl is? and white flight?

Seafoam:

So the last one would be crossed off then

AZ:

yes

Seafoam:

For white flight, that could happen because people could move to the new places that are built. But, it is a most likely question

AZ:

I thought white flight would be unlikely because we have no idea what the racial makeup is for this city

Seafoam:

Ok, I think the answer is the third option then....?

Seafoam:

Maybe... Im now unsure

AZ:

Yeah that's what I think it is too

AZ:

When there's a lot of developments, property taxes usually increase

Seafoam:

Ok thank you!

Seafoam:

I'm really trying not to fail so I want all the help I can possibly get, could you continue helping me please?

AZ:

Sure!
