People living in metro towns face various problems in managing their daily lives. Several problems, such as the high cost of living and a poor environment, pose hassles that lead to stress. Countryside relocation can be one ideal resolution the government could provide.
Firstly, one of the major concerns for anyone in metropolitan cities is the huge amount of money paid for accommodation. Owning a house is not easily achievable for people migrating there. Bachelors or families find it hard to occupy even a small area on high rent. Stories on Instagram show why some are reluctant to move to Bangalore, one of the most flourishing cities in India. Reels show that the city now does not have accommodation for less than twenty thousand per month, which is out of budget for various working-class people.
Moreover, urban living leads us to an unhealthy lifestyle in a polluted environment. Studies prove that the biggest contributor to the ozone hole is growing city centers. Along with air pollution, urbanization equally contributes to increasing water, noise, and soil pollution. Delhi, the capital of India, is top-ranked for its poor environmental conditions. Restaurants there offer mineral water bottles, since water bodies are highly infected and scarce for drinking purposes.
However, these issues can be brought under control if the government provides support for the emigration of residents to the outskirts of the towns. This would reduce congestion due to the increased population. People can also choose a comfortable living space within their economic status. Ernakulam, a growing metro of Kerala, expands its city to the countryside of the district. The upgraded transportation facilities make people less worried about living away from the heart of the city.
To conclude, extending the city space would ideally reduce the living cost and maintain a sustainable environment.
