city's problem

Most of people think that living in a city is one of the greatest things. Living in a city has good and bad value. People think that they can get a lot of money by work in a city. Sometimes they also think that living in a city is better than just stay in a village and nothing to change with our live. The main problem living in a city is pollution, crowded area, beggars, dirty area, traffic jam and the safety. Those are the main problem when we live in a city.

Actually, beside those problems, living in a city have a good many effect for people who really want to attract for business or other job. That bad problem can be solving if the government have a lot of ways to clear it. The government can make a program to do in a city. They can ask other people to make the program success.

If I were the city major, I would make some big change to the city. The first step that I would take was repair the people mindset about living in a city. After change the mindset, I could change everything like make the environment clean and free from garbage. Made the public transportation more useful than other transportation so, people did not use their own vehicle and it could decrease the pollution.

Traffic jam also gives big pollution scale in a city. Most of people choose to use their own vehicle to go to everywhere. The only way how to decrease the traffic jam is repair the public transportation. Make all of the facilities in public transportation better or if it needs a change just change it into a new one. Try to attract people to choose the public transportation. So, it can solve the traffic jam and decrease the pollution in the city.

Living in a city not only gives you bad effect, it also has a good one. Just look at the people who live in the countryside. Their life so far from the comfort and safe. Compare with people who live in the city. They can get everything they want but, people who live in the countryside if they want to get something they need to find it in forest. Living in the countryside make people always work hard and they live with enough needs.

Maybe, in the future living in a city is easier than now. Just look at the technology that human have now. All of people try to make their life easy with the technology.

CITIES' BIG PROBLEM

http://www.lensaindonesia.com/2012/09/08/sabtu-sembilan-ribu-kendaraan-r2-padati-kota-surabaya.html

            In my opinion, there are three big problems living in cities. The three big problems seem like ‘chain reaction’ from one to another. Let’s talk about the three big problems.

            First, living in cities need high cost. Mostly the prices in cities are more expensive than in towns. Reason why this happened because the number of commodity demand and supply is not balanced. When people move to cities and make the population density high, the amount of demand automatically increased. Of course, firms make use of this condition to increase the price of their product time by time. So that’s why the prices in cities are expensive.

            Second, traffic jam is also a big problem of cities. Traffic jam can caused by high number of private vehicles and few number of public transportations. In Indonesia, for example, the number of motor cycles is very high, especially in big cities (Jakarta, Surabaya, etc). If the the governments  do not put high attention at this problem, few years later people might can not move to anywhere because the road is full of motorcycles. People prefer to use their own vehicles than public transportations because they are simplier and faster. Most of  public transportations do not offer pleasures for the passangers. Sometimes they are dirty and slow.

            If I were a city mayor in my city, I would make a policy for the students of elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools who live far from their school to ride in school buses. In my senior high school, mostly, each student rides a motorcycle. You can imagine, how many motorcycles crowd the road everyday if each of senior high school students rides one motorcycles. Why the students of elementary school also involved in this new policy?  Because students of elementary school and  junior high school do not allowed to a ride motorcycle. Their parent take them to school by motorcycle everyday. Same problem, too many motorcycles on the road. Another possible policy is limiting the number of new motorcycles trade per year. If there are no limitation on motorcycle trade, the number of motorcycle in city will increase.

            The last problem is the rate of crime. People who do not obey the law will do anything to accomplish their need. They do not care another people rights. Criminals in city usually steal wallets or cellphones, burgle a house, rob vehicles, or rapping.

            Those three problems of city make a chain reaction. Do you know why? The high living cost make people to go to work or school to get better payment or education. Most of them ride their own vehicles and cause traffic jam. For people who want the simple way to accomplish their need, they prefer to do crime than work. However, you have to believe every problem is always have its solution. Brilliant ideas from all of citizens are very needed.
