Your town has enough money to build either a new shopping center, a skateboard park, or an animal shelter. Which one would you choose and why?
If the community had extra money to choose from these three, I wold chose neither of them, and instead spend it on the community. Not by making cheesy art sculptures that cost thousands, but you could spend it on the following. First of all, you could spend it on more festivals and carnivals locally. Second of all, you could spend it on more houses, subdivisions, and puplic property (and make more money out of that). Lastly, you could spend it on the government, to improve roads.
There are so many ways to spend money, but it's hard to earn. So why spend it on something that doesn't benefit all of us? Shopping centers - not many boys want to be included in that. Skateboard park - Not many girls. Animal shelter - Not many people altogether. Instead of doing all of this thinking, why don't we just say what is for the common good. Not just for a section of people. Something everyone would use, something everyone will benefit from.
Not many times this comes up, but building a shopping center gives off a lot of pollution. Skateboard parks get dirty way to easily. And in some places there are no animals for animal shelters - the animals there are gotten rid of anyway. What's the point of building something that doesn't even do anything?
The question our town needs to ponder is what we use most. What do we use so much that we need more of? A library, a new road, more property. Wise thinking is at stake here, and we can't take back our decisions. Let's not repeat our mistakes.
