S: I heard that hundreds of people had been waiting in a line for hours to buy an apartment.
A: Incredible! Why did that happen?
S: Because it was an economical housing project, which is rare for many low-income and middle-income earners.
A: Is it a kind of housing problem?
S: Of course. As more and more people crowd into big cities, housing shortage becomes an increasingly serious problem.
A: But they never stop constructing the city.
S: Despite the mushrooming high buildings, for short of provision, the price of houses soars.
A: Maybe it will be effective to encourage people to move to the suburbs in order to reduce the population density in the downtown area.
S: That plan is already under way. But there is a huge surge in the suburban housing market, which is also causing traffic problems.
A: So the government should make proper plans to solve those problems.
S: Yes. There is still a long way to go.
