2. …build a community center right next to a sewage treatment plant? Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA)

3.  The odor might be unpleasant.  The trucks coming and going might be too loud and distracting.  Children might wander off and try to play there, which isn’t safe. Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA)

4. …have a super “mega-mall” in a very small town? Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA)

5.  Not many people would use it, so it would be a waste of money.  There wouldn’t be enough stores or resources to maintain it. Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA)

6. …build an elementary school next to an airport? Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA)

7.  Increased traffic to and from the airport presents a risk to the students.  Noise may become too high and interfere with school. Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA)

8. It is the city planners’ job to make sure these types of things DO NOT happen as they plan for cities that are beginning or growing. City Planners try to ensure that all roads, buildings, and other facilities are in locations that make sense and work for most people in the community. Copyright Texas Education Agency (TEA )
