Traffic and housing problems in major cities could be solved by moving large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In light of mounting

traffic

and housing in metropolitan areas, the question of how to reverse the status quo has been a topic of public interest lately, with some proposing relocating big businesses and industrial plants,
