Proposal for the Public Good

I have finally begun working on my proposal. I had a very difficult time in the beginning, as I had no idea what I wanted to propose. I care about the environment, so I wanted to propose more mass transit in my home city of San Diego. After thinking about who I would write to and what about, I figured I would write to the mayor and include the recent expansion of the interstate 5. I am very against this recent construction, as it definitely promotes more driving; therefore more pollution from automobiles into our atmosphere. San Diego is a beautiful county, mainly because of the weather and clarity of the air. It appears very clean. But, is it? The continues expanding of suburbia near where I live is ultimately going to create an area in which nobody desires to live-let alone raise their children. I did some research and found that, to my surprise, San Diego has a large amount of mass transit. And, fortunately, the amount of citizens using it has risen dramatically these past years. The only issue , is that San Diego is extensively divided up by highways and it is literally impossible to build mass transportation that leads to everywhere. Hopefully, people will keep increasing their willingness to use the mass transit that IS provided, as global warming messages keep waking us up.
Because of my research, I decided that the idea was not one I wanted to pursue in my final paper, so I chose a different topic.
