GTANSW & ACT's insight:
Affordability impacts on people's choices about where to live and in turn impacts on access to goods and services, community identity and social connectedness in many outlying suburbs
Sometimes people choose to live out of the cities for many reasons. First of all, living in suburban neighborhoods would be more affordable than residing in the cites and people will acquire more square footage, land, and less expensive houses. To be able to live in the city, people have to pay high prices in addition to dealing with the stress of city life. Second, over populated cities can cause damage to the environment through such ways as air pollution and santitation hazards. Taxes will remain high in order to keep up with the urban sprawl and maintain public transportation and education services. Mexico is an example where many over populated cities can be found. These cities suffer from severe air pollution, massive clouds of industrial smoke, and substandard public service programs.
