A downtown group of restaurants is lobbying the city to close a downtown street
to cars along one city block in order to provide outdoor dining for its patrons.
They present a business plan to the city council showing increased revenues for
participating restaurants, increased parking revenues for the city along side
streets, and an overall economic benefit for all of downtown. The source for the
information on the business plan is a study done by an independent research
group that did a study of 50 major cities that concluded that outdoor dining draws
a significantly larger population to downtown areas and helps revitalize
struggling downtown businesses. However, a residential neighborhood group is
opposed to the idea because they believe it will create more noise and encourage
drinking in their neighborhood. At the same city council meeting, the
neighborhood group presented a petition signed by 1500 people living in the area
who oppose the business plan presented by the restaurants, and who claim that
people who dine outdoors tend to drink more and speak more loudly than when
they dine indoors.Both groups are then interviewed by the local television
station. The restaurant group claims that the neighborhood group is racist
