The city is always a very crowded and bustling place, also very busy. There are always a lot of
people who tend to live in the city because of the high GDP, because of the bustle, because
of the facilities, etc. At the same time, with the fast-paced life and dense population in the
city, it is still very difficult to keep everyone. to be able to enjoy life.
In the city, people always must fight each other for jobs, the salary is high, but the
competition is higher, unemployment is increasing, especially after the covid-19 epidemic,
which makes people worry all the time think.
In addition, not everywhere in the city is also a safe place, social evils can be so many that it
is unexpected such as robbery, theft, fraud, etc. be wary and fearful.
In the city, people in and out are so crowded that sometimes there can be traffic jams for
several hours. The global temperature is increasing day by day, in the summer it is even more
difficult, combined with the hot air of the car, the road that takes only 30 minutes to go will
last more than 1 hour. The smoke is thick, when I get home, sometimes the skin color is
completely black due to dirt. Therefore, it is more difficult to enjoy life.
For the above issues, the Government needs to take strong measures on people's security.
Introduce better labor policies, lending at low interest rates so that businesses that are on
the verge of bankruptcy after covid-19 can once again revive. Regarding traffic, it is necessary
to have effective policies such as building more bridges, tunnels, or public transport such as
high-speed train lines to make it easier for people to travel. The government can also plant
more trees along the road to make the air fresher and cooler. Or expand the vacant land to
make parks for people to enjoy when tired.
