People living in large cities have to face many problems in everyday life. What are those problems? Should the government encourage people to move to regional towns?

Firstly

This

is because many offices in large cities are located in a central business district

usually the most expensive region of the city. Meanwhile, most workers live in far away suburbs where they can afford a decent-size dwelling.

As a result

, employees can end up spending as much as 2 hours travelling back and forth between their homes and offices every

, mostly stuck in traffic.

Secondly

regional towns. If companies relocate to these remote areas, they will no longer need to rent offices in expensive real estate, and will be able to hire local talent.

This

will have a knock on effect on other services too.

For instance

, once offices start cropping up in regional areas, cafes, pubs, schools and hospitals will follow too.

Furthermore

, as regional towns are much smaller, people will be able to live closer to their workplace,

thus

improving their overall quality of life. In fact, I still fondly remember the days when I used to work in a small regional town with a population of just 100,000. My workplace was so close to my apartment that I used to come home to have lunch

issue.
