Homelessness is increasing in many major cities around the world. What do you think are the main causes of this problem and what measures could be taken to solve it?

Although
there is a rapid development of economics and infrastructure in many countries all over the world,
homelessness
is still a burning issue in many major cities, which has caused the increasing
criminal
Suggestion
crime
rate as well as
bad impression
Suggestion
a bad impression
for visitors.
This
essay will explore the main causes of
homelessness
and
possible solution
Suggestion
possible solutions
a possible solution
in order to tackle
this
issue. There are three main causes leading to people having no place to live.
Firstly
, one main cause is the cost of accomodation. Due to the overpopulation
problem
which is happening in many cities, the demand of accomodation has become buoyant.
Therefore
, some landowners increase their leasing price
wihout
in absence of
without
any hesitance so as to gain more profit, while many households cannot
affort
be able to spare or give up
afford
to pay rent.
Secondly
, shortage of
land
to build
cheap house
Suggestion
a cheap house
is
also
a reason of
homelessness
. A great amount of prime
land
has been used to
buil
make by combining materials and parts
build
bail
boil
facilities
such
as factories and luxurious shopping malls.
This
causes the lack of
land
to build affordable
accommodation
for citizens. Another factor that contributes to the
problem
of
homelessness
is the migration of people to cities. There is a huge gap between cities' infrastructure and
contrysides'
, in which urban areas have excellent facilities, whereas rural
areas'
Suggestion
area's
infrastructure is much more limited,
Consequently
, the great waves of people migrating to cities are obvious to happen. To tackle
this
problem
, governments and businesses can consider three possible solutions. The
first
action that the governments could do is to subsidise
accommodation
for people as well as start-up projects which helps the homeless.
This
way, people will easily
gat
come into the possession of something concrete or abstract
get
got
a place to live and entrepreneurs are
also
encouraged to help homeless people. Another solution is building more tower
bocks
a solid piece of something (usually having flat rectangular sides)
blocks
with flats.
Instead
of expanding the width of already-rare
land
, cities should take advantages of the enormous space above to build blocks with apartments for people.
This
method not only increases the
accommodation
, but
also
saves a surplus of
land
.
Finally
, revitalising the economies in rural areas is another possible measure that can be taken. If the economies in the
contrysides
rural regions
countryside
country-side
is improved
Suggestion
are improved
, inhabitants will no longer migrate to cities, which
hence
alleviate the
homelessness
problem
. To conclude,
homelessness
has been a controversial issue owing to the high
accommodation
cost and
undersupply
Suggestion
an undersupply
the undersupply
of
land
.
However
, we can significantly alleviate the situation by some solutions
such
as subsidising housing and building tower blocks. If the governments and businesses implement these solutions,
homelessness
will soon be reduced.
