- A The community's crime rate has risen nearly as quickly as the value of homes has fallen, over the same period of time.
- B Those homeowners whose homes are situated in the immediate area of the bus depot must endure constant noise.
- C The constant activity and commerce generated by the bus depot has made the community a favored hangout for thieves and other criminals.
