There are both advantages and disadvantages of establishing a shopping mall in our neighborhood. I am worried about traffic and how it will affect our community. However, I believe it will benefit local business and increase appreciations for local area. All in all, I think it is a good idea.

and heavy traffic means big congestion. At the same time, parking is also a problem in this area. ; q: c# c+ b' x3 e
There are few garages attached to houses. Most of residents depend on finding spaces on the

those parking spaces. Furthermore, if the shopping center offers valet parking service, it would be

would earn more money and spend on other business, such as entertainment and education, which 4 O4 i A& F# A, B

community. When they drive to the shopping center, they will see what a nice place this area is to

In a short, there are several details to consider when planning a shopping center. In my part, I support to have a new shopping center in my community because its advantages outweigh 3 G: X' h; w" B8 ^1 N
disadvantages. |
