　　How to Solve the Housing Problem in Big Cities?

　　With the development of modern industry, more and more people are flowing into big cities. Accordingly, the housing problem in big cities is becoming much more serious. People in the big city are complaining housing shortage and roaring price of the housing.

　　As we know, the temptation and opportunities provided by big cities attract people who want to make a fortune in big cities, which is the major cause of housing problem in big cities. Besides, house vacancy and speculating in the housing market are becoming the tough problem. We can’t deny the housing problem has brought about great pressure to the low-income families. Meanwhile, solving this problem will affect the public’s confidence on the government.

　　To solve this problem, I think building satellite cities in the suburbs is more practical. The fresh air and beautiful scenery in the suburbs will pull many people from the overcrowded city and alleviate the pressure of housing.
