One of the biggest issues in my DC is New York traffic congestion, which not only affects NYC but most of the major cities in the country. I was doing some research on the topic and was able to find many different resources and articles pointing out, not only the issue but also a few possible solutions.

One of the articles was written by Anthony Downs, a real state finance expert. He talks about the impact of traffic congestion in society, and how hard it is to solve. Some of his solutions are: charging a congestion tax, expanding roads, or greatly expanding public transit.

One way of being persuasive to the audience is by presenting real data that supports the impacts of the issue in today’s society.
