Once upon a time, people poured into big cities. But now, things seem to have changed. More and more people hesitate to go to big cities due to decreasing living quality. How does this happen? First, people leave their hometown and go to big cities in order to earn money to improve living. But now the living cost in big cities keeps rising, which takes up the majority of people's income, making life even harder. Second, as a big city, transportation seems to be a problem, especially during rush hour. It is said that many people spend as long as four hours commuting between office and living place every day. Third, people in big cities often feel lonely and cold. Every one is so busy with their own stuff that few people care about others. To make big cities regain attraction, many things could be done. First, the government may offer low-rent apartments for those who are potential but are going through a difficult time temporary. Second, mass transportation, instead of private cars, should be encouraged. Especially subway system, which is puntual and convenient, should be improved if possible. Third, various activities can be organized to make people happy and to offer oppotunity for people to make friends. Finally, life is colorful. Big cities should not only be a place to make money and realize one's ambition, it also should be a place fit for living, only in this way can big cities be as attractive as before.
