Traffic and housing problems could be solved by moving large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. Do you agree or disagree?

These days with increasing urban populations, there are major problems with congestion and not only the price, but
also
availability of accommodation in large cities of the world. It seems that one possible solution could be to relocate large companies and factories as well as their respective employees out of these urban areas and into more rural ones. I strongly agree that
this
would have a positive effect in making cities more livable.
To begin
with, the
traffic
problem in cities doesn’t only exist from commuting employees, but
also
the general public travelling around the
city
. While
this
may be a fact, if the number of workers' vehicles is reduced on
city
streets, a large percentage of
traffic
Suggestion
the traffic
will obviously decline in rush hours.
For example
, peak hour of the
traffic
is undoubtedly made up largely of staff from companies going to and from home.
Secondly
, in regards to housing problems, populations will always continue to grow in cities and
therefore
inadvertently decrease the number of cheap and available apartments.
This
is certainly obvious,
however
, a large proportion of these apartments are occupied by employees of large firms and their families. If
this
workforce is relocated to housing estates in the country,
city
apartment blocks will fall in price and certainly increase in availability. In conclusion, by relocating workers to rural areas to work and reside, heavy
traffic
conditions and lack of adequate accommodation in
city
centres will obviously change for the better. As far as I’m concerned, I agree that the government should enforce
such
a law in order to increase our standard of living in our hectic
city
life.
