topic proposal of speech 2, Nov 12, 2018

Discussion of the subject:
Parking issues in Iowa: parking space and parking monitoring.

Focus:
I will suggest to increase parking spaces and monitoring in parking lots.

Reason or rationale:
By my personal experiences,
I often can't find a parking space when I have class. There is still no parking space after I wait for ten or twenty minutes. Then I would late for class that the instructor deducts my attendance marks.

My car have been hit and run twice in parking lot. The first time I was lucky that I happened to see my vehicle hit by someone else , then I record his license plate number and call the police. However, second time, I only saw the lights of the car smashed by other vehicle but there was no way to find out who hit my vehicle.

A lot of students in order to find a parking space lead to traffic jam.
