The increasing housing problem in big cities has social consequences. Some people say that only government can solve this problem.

It is a fact that population density and the increasing

number

of housing have created some social problems in many large cities. A group of people

believe

Suggestion

believes

that the issue could only be solved by the

government

. I personally agree with the statement and the following essay will discuss it in details. It is true that the increasing population in large cities

such

as Jakarta, New York or Beijing has created some social issues.

Firstly

, as the demand for houses in big cities increase, the price of properties has risen by double or triple in the past few years.

This

situation has affected to the middle and lower income class, as they could not afford to buy houses in the

city

. Most of them purchase properties in more developed areas of the

city

and

consequently

they have to spend more money on transportation to the workplace.

Secondly

, the high demand of housing areas has created some

environment

Suggestion

environmental

issues. As more houses are built in the cities, the

number

of parks and trees become lesser and lesser these days. As we all know that trees are beneficial for human beings, as they produce oxygen and absorb pollution.

Consequently

, air pollution in these cities has become

worst

Suggestion

worse

than ever these days and the

number

of people who have respiration problem has increased. In order to restore these conditions, it is the

government

task to restructure the

city

, as they are the one who has the power and the authority. The

government

should stop giving new permits for

city

developers. They should expand and develop new areas,

therefore

some of the

city

’s people will move to the new area and it will gradually reduce the density problem. And

then

, the

government

should set strict regulations about developing new real estates in the

city

, as there should be a proportionate ratio between building and green areas in the

city

. With a proportionate

number

of parks and buildings, it is hoped the

city

became greener and cleaner. In conclusion, I agree that it is the

government

task to solve the social consequences of density issue. As they have the power and the authority to resolve the issue, they should set measurable campaigns and programs to resolve the problems.
