gre argument 230题目：
The following appeared in a recommendation from the planning department of the city of Transopolis.
"Ten years ago(9), as part of a comprehensive urban renewal program, the city of Transopolis adapted for industrial use a large area of severely substandard housing near the freeway. Subsequently, several factories were constructed there, crime rates in the area declined, and property tax revenues for the entire city(2) increased(1). To further revitalize the city(6), we should now take similar action in a declining residential area on the opposite side of the city(3,4,5,7,8). Since some houses and apartments in existing nearby neighborhoods are currently unoccupied, alternate housing for those displaced by this action will be readily available(10)."
提纲：
(1)The author unfairly assumes that the prosperity of the area results from the industrialization.
(2)The increase in overall property-tax revenue does not necessarily indicate an increase in tax revenue from properties in the freeway area.
(3)The author fails to demonstrate that the residential area on the opposite side of the city is suitable for industrial use.
(4)The two areas may not be comparable at many aspects, thus taking similar action in the area may not generate the same good effects.
(5)The author fails to substantiate the necessity of adapt more area for industrial use.
(6)Taking the same action in the area may not sufficiently revitalize the city.
(7)Other possible solutions could also be used to revitalize the city.
(8)The author fails to consider the cost of the proposed action, and if the city could afford it.
(9)Many factors that would influence the effectiveness of the action would have changed during the past decade.
(10)The author fails to consider if the residents of the area are willing to be allocated to those houses and apartments.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
