As a citizen of Belvedere, I feel it's my duty to raise my voice in protest against the proposed shopping mall on Elmhurst Avenue, for several reasons. This mall will be built dangerously close to Gordon's Creek, and the state environmental bureau says the construction and increased traffic will likely pollute and destroy our precious landmark within a few years. And let's talk about traffic — do you like the air quality here in Belvedere? Because you won't after the mall is built. A federal impact study says the increased traffic will lower our air quality by 25 percent in the next ten years. Lastly, everyone talks about all the jobs that will be created when the mall arrives, but it's a fact that nobody will take any job that has the potential to harm the environment. What we're going to end up with is a dying creek, lots of traffic, and a huge mall with nobody willing to work in it. Let's just stop this before it starts How does the author's faulty evidence about jobs affect his or her credibility? Why?
