Read the student essay excerpt below, then answer the question. Since the beginning of time, humans have moved from place to place for many reasons. Ancient people migrated for food, and later people traveled for trade and exploration. Today, transportation is faster than ever, and cities are busier than they used to be. In Riverside, the city council is voting on whether to eliminate minimum parking requirements for new apartment buildings near the downtown bus corridor. A planning memo estimates that structured parking adds about $28,000 per unit to construction costs, contributing to higher rents. Opponents argue that street parking is already scarce and that removing requirements will "spill" cars into nearby neighborhoods. The writer's argument supports eliminating the minimums, claiming it will lower housing costs and encourage transit use, while proposing residential permit zones to address spillover. Which sentence would most effectively strengthen the introduction by clarifying the argument's stakes? (Refer to the bolded introduction.)
