Studies show that cities with extensive public transit systems have higher average property values than cities without such systems. To increase the local tax base, the city council of Midville should invest in a light rail system, as this will inevitably lead to higher property values.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- At least part of the higher property values in transit-rich cities is attributable to the transit systems themselves
- Midville presently has no form of public transportation capable of affecting its property values
- A light rail system is the most cost-effective means available for Midville to raise its property values
- Every individual property in Midville will rise in value once the light rail system is in place
- The cities in the studies raised their property values primarily through transit investment rather than other public spending
