To prevent overcrowding, last month the town zoning board limited the number of new buildings that can be constructed in the town in any given year. The board claims that doing so will preserve open spaces and lessen the strain on municipal resources such as schools and garbage disposal. Critics of the changes argue that the plan will harm the community or, at the very least, will fail in its purpose.
Which of the following most supports the claims of the critics of the plan?
A- Other towns have had mixed success with similar zoning plans.
B- No new schools have been built in the town in ten years.
C- Property taxes in the town are higher than in neighboring towns.
D- Under the new plan, developers may still erect apartment buildings.
E- The nearest garbage dump is several miles away from the town.
