Self-study
Business owner: Around noon in one section of the city, food trucks that sell lunch directly to customers on the sidewalk occupy many of the limited metered parking spaces available, thus worsening already bad traffic congestion. ████ ███ ███ ████ ███████ ██ ████████ █ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██████ ████ ███████ ██ ███████ ██████ ██ ███ ████████████ █████ █████ ████ ████ ██████ ██ ████████ █████ █████ ██ ██████ ██ █████████ ███████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██████████ ██ ████ █████ ██ ███ █████
Summary
The author concludes that a bill that prohibits food trucks from parking in metered spaces in commercially zoned areas should be rejected.
Why?
Because there is plenty of available parking and little traffic congestion in most of areas of the city.
Notable Assumptions
We’re trying to support the conclusion that a particular law shouldn’t be passed. But the premise doesn’t tell us when a law shouldn’t be passed. We want a principle that gets us from the premise to the idea that a law shouldn’t be passed. For example:
If a law is designed to solve a problem (traffic congestion), but that problem doesn’t exist in most areas of the city, then the law should not be passed.
