Some people believe that the government should spend more money putting in more works of art like paintings and statues in cities to make them better places to live in. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is an opinion that authorities should allocate more funds for street work of

art

such

as statues and paintings in order to create a better environment in cities. I totally disagree with the notion because there are more important issues to address for improving the life of a modern citizen.

first

. I firmly believe that some reasonable finances might be spent on street work of

that influence the quality of life

such

as air pollution, lack of green space, narrow streets and traffic jams. In conclusion, I completely disagree with the idea that the government should increase funding for works of

art

in cities.

This

is because modern cities have more important issues to deal with than controversial street arts.
