woes in cities is to encourage suburban and rural people

to relocate

to urban areas. I do not agree with

view because cities are already bulging at the seams. If more people move to the

congestion and

if the cities can accommodate them.

This

is because most people living in suburbs have jobs in the

all the way from their home to their office in the

causing

Hence

problems. Unfortunately,

this
