A student wants to write a letter to city representatives explaining the effects of not having a community center. What are some possible effects of this problem? Check all that apply.

A community center provides space for gatherings and shared activities. Without one, people may have nowhere to hold events like craft fairs or chess tournaments, and the city may lack a large venue for meetings open to everyone. Fewer opportunities to gather can also weaken people’s sense of community. Littering in parks and unsafe drinking water are not direct effects of lacking a community center.
