Las Vegas has too many people. There's not enough water in the desert to support more than a million people. The infrastructure of the city can't handle more than a million: There streets are overcrowded, and traffic is always congested, the schools are overcrowded, and new ones can't be built fast enough. We should stop migration to the city by tough zoning laws in the city and country.
Argument?: Yes. Parts 2, 3, and 4.
Conclusion: Las Vegas needs to control their population by enforcing tough zoning laws in the city and country.
Additional premises needed?: You could talk about how it costs so much for them to transport water from other places to allow the people of Las Vegas the access of running water. The city is becoming very polluting and energy consuming.
Identify any sub argument: 2, 3, 4, and 5 are sub arguments. They are all independent of each other and point back to the first sentence and conclusion.
Good argument?: No, I would defiantly say this argument was not good. I doubt that one million people actually live in Vegas, and providing such an incorrect number makes the rest of the argument null. The argument is based on the fact that Las Vegas has over one million people, when in reality we know that to be false.
