In order to reverse this decline in the quality of life in cities, attempts must be made to encourage people to use their cars less and public transport more. to what extend do you agree or disagree?

In this day and age, more and more contemporary attention has been placed on whether city dwellers should be encouraged to use public transportation rather than private vehicles to diminish traffic snarls and air contamination. From my perspective, I side with the former state because of the reasonable explanations below.

As housing is a basic need for people, government should provide free housing for everyone who cannot afford it.To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Since accommodation is a must for everyone, some believe that it is the governments' liability to provide that to the poor stratum of the society without any charges.

Firstly, this kind of initiative will harm the economic stability and cause a decrease in the employment rates, secondly, it will also pave the way for a new caste system.

Although many people opine that the crime rate can be reduced if criminals are sentenced to a longer duration of punishments, some people believe that finding other possible solutions to control the crime rate must be explored by the government. I personally feel that the respective authorities should strive to find alternatives to reduce the crime rate rather than keeping the crime makers in isolation for more time.
