There are more and more
people
 moving out from big
cities
 to suburban areas to live.
This
 is causing many problems from traffic to the environment because most of the jobs now are available in the big

 with, the government should reduce the gap between the countryside and city by constructing and relocating factories and administration offices to the rural areas to create jobs for
people
. They will still live in the suburban areas with their suitable jobs and only have to travel short distances to
work
.
Besides
, technologically speaking, thanks to the development of technology, there are more opportunities for

then
 go to
work
 for the rest of the week. A very different way to deal with the problem is encouraging
people

cities

For example
, the government should spend more money to reduce crime and society evils as those are the primary reasons why
people
 do not want to live in the
cities
.
Furthermore
, as well as the environment can be made cleaner and agreeable to live with more green trees and fewer skyscrapers. In these ways,
people
 might be encouraged to stay rather than move out. In conclusion, there are many ways to overcome the situation in both the countryside and city points of view. The government, as well as all of society's components, should join hands to find the best solution for
