Take the following as truth: The town was a quiet spa and beach resort (its name means drinking fountain ) until the motorway's arrival brought it within comfortable commuting distance of the city; now it is set to become a bustling seaside suburb of Izmir, and a terminal for international ferries from Italy and Greece.
Then the following statement: "The increase in population caused major harm to a lot of the town's shops and resources." is true, false, or inconclusive?
