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
