Use the paragraph to answer the question.
The new office building will house several different companies and employ an estimated 600 people. However, it will also bring in more traffic and possible crime to the area. Several local companies are competing for the contract to begin construction, which will not happen until late spring, after the ground has thawed. Studies show that crime accompanies traffic issues. The increase to traffic for the new building is estimated at 15 percent. This, combined with the increase in wait time for local services, such as lines at the gas pump and fast food drive-through lanes, is likely to cause an increase in small crime throughout the area.
