The best way to deal with the rising traffic and transportation is to encourage people to live in cities rather than in suburbs or in the countryside. To what extent do you agree or diagree with this option?

When discussing the issue of increased
traffic
and
transportation
problems one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue. Some believe that encouraging people to move to bigger cities will not change

,
becuase
for the reason that; on account of

, agree with the above statement and think that people should move to major cities in order to avoid

of cars. In
this
essay, I will provide examples and reasons to support my opinion. One argument in favour of my opinion is that people who live in big cities can
use
public
transportation
that is
not accessible in rural areas.
This
has been shown in a poll performed among the inhabitants of New York state. In the

.
This
shows that people who live in major cities can
use the

use, the
local infrastructure
instead
of cars, which directly decrease
traffic
. Another point to support my opinion is that when living in big cities, all the local needs are
near by

and
therefore
people do not
use
their cars.
For example
, families living in the Negev, the southern most part of Israel, need to drive 15 miles in order to arrive

conclusion, I
agree with the above statement, and think that encouraging people to live in big cities is a good way to address the rising

. If we all live close, we can

traffic
and save our environment.
