Day 169 Two years ago, the town of Seaside Vista opened a new municipal golf course and resort hotel

The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of Brindleburg to the city council.

“Two years ago, the town of Seaside Vista opened a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. Since then, the Seaside Vista Tourism Board has reported a 20% increase in visitors. In addition, local banks reported a steep rise in the number of new business loan applications they received this year. The amount of tax money collected by Seaside Vista has also increased, allowing the town to announce plans to improve Seaside Vista's roads and bridges. We recommend building a similar golf course and resort hotel in Brindleburg. We predict that this project will generate additional tax revenue that the city can use to fund much-needed public improvements.”

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

【本題與Day 77相似，不同之處在于本題還可以反駁：在沒有給出基數(shù)的前提下， 20%的增長(zhǎng)具有參考意義嗎？另外，增加的稅收一定能用于完善公共設(shè)施嗎？是否有可能用在其他方面？例如教育醫(yī)療等?！?/p>
