Housing Problems in Big Cities
A good many big cities in China today are facing the shortage of housing．The money spent on housing granted from the govemment doesn’t result in a satisfactory result and a housing problem still exists．There are common cases that two generations sharing one room and newly married couples finding it difficult to have a house of their own．Housing sho~age is such a problem that equires an immediate solution．
People’s attitudes vary greatly towards the solution to the housing problem．Some suggest that building more tall apartment buildings；others hold the idea that we should develop underground housing areas．I am in favor of the former opinion．For one thing，it is cheaper to build upward than downward．For example，living underground for a long time will do harm to people’S health． What’s more，people are unwilling to live underground with artificial lighting and they prefer to live normally on the ground to enjoy the sunshine．
Although there may be some other ways to solve the housing shortage problem，I believe to build more apartment buildings is one of the feasible solutions to the housing problem．
