will easily find public transportation for them to go to their work, school, and else.
Besides
that, people who live in

get service from the

staff where people can feel more pleasant.
This
can be the reason why people want to live in flat compare to live in a house.
However
, there are some disadvantages of living in a flat. As we know already that by choosing to live in, there will take some risks.
First
, the space provided and outdoor space can be said small. Considering that, not all family can feel comfortable. In fact, it can affect some of the family members' health.
Second

third
is the resident have to follow the rules, even though it's hard to be acceptable.

apartment
. The worst disadvantage we know is the high risk when dangerous incidents happen.

apartment
from the easy accessibility until the service you can get.
Although
, it is known that living in an
apartment
will take high risk to our lives. So the conclusion is it has more disadvantages than the advantages when people live in the flat.
