cities“worsetoliveinthan 20 years ago”
One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect

stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would
like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.
The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list
of problems. For many people,the daily commute (通勤) to work is a source of
frustration. 40% of the people in the survey have suffered from road rage while
stuck in traffic on the way to work. The cost of public transport is also a
serious problem. Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is
too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport
costs.
The general cost of living in cities is another problem. The high properly
prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time
buyers. Many young people are priced out of the housing market, and have to take
in lodgers to make ends meet, or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city
centre. In London, for instance, the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is
so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for
a deposit.
Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime. Crime rates
have rocketed in many big cities, and many say there are several dangerous no-go
areasintheircity.fearofcrimeisontheincrease– street crimes,such as
mugging and assault, are now very common- and many are afraid of going out at
night alone.
Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for
children. Most major conurbations (有卫星的大城市) surveyedhaveafarsmallernumberof
parks and gardens than a generation ago. Planning permission seems to have been
given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets, office developments and
apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces. Many of the

city, a problem which is compounded by pollution.
And finally,themajorityofpeopleinthesurveywerefedupwiththe
