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

　　(Word count： 280)

　　The busy rush hour traffic and the skyrocketing price of houses in most major cities lead to the question of how to tackle these two problems. Some people suggest that large companies, industrial plants as well as their staff should be moved to countryside, and I completely agree with this point of view.

　　Traffic congestion in metropolis can be significantly reduced by relocating large firms and plants to regional zones. It is believed that the responsibility for metropolis’s traffic problems in city center mainly falls upon office workers rushing to workplace in the urban area at peak hour. Moving the major companies, which are currently located in city center, to countryside means that workers have more routes to choose from when they go to work, instead of all driving on the main roads at the same time. It is, therefore, less likely to cause traffic jam.

　　Similar effects can be seen in the housing problem if such action is taken into effect. If large corporations with thousands of staff are moved to less populated area with lower renting fees, some young white- and blue- collar employees who currently rent houses in the urban area in major cities are more likely to move to a new location near their workplace in order to save time on commuting and to save money on the rent. With less population and less demand on the city center apartments, the price, hopefully, would decrease and more people will be able to afford the houses.

　　In conclusion, companies and factories with a large number of employees being moved to less populated areas could greatly mitigate the pressure on traffic and housing in metropolitan areas.
