This

as well as

my reasoning as to why I agree with the latter opinion. The growth of cities provides services

As a result

, as more money is being saved, less is being spent on consumer goods

it. In my opinion, I would prefer to live
elsewhere
Linking Words
, as becoming homeless is a great fear of mine.
