Working in a fixed location often comes with problems of long-time commuting or
home replacing. In fact, it is not easy for many people to rent an ideal house
close to their workplace, for there are limited vacancies in their desired
apartments. To avoid long (lenghty) commutes, some people think we should
remove parks and gardens in order to build more needed apartments in the city, which I disagree with it. I believe that the approachable (?) environment is more
important than certain people's convenience. Parks and gardens are built as
a fundamental need in cities worldwide. They are not just for leisure purposes,
such as entertainment, instead, they benefit us physically and mentally. For
example, both taking a walk in a park and gazing into the garden can make us
more healthy and feel relaxed from our work and life. It is obvious that not
only our city needs them to improve its image in an environmental and civilized
way, but also we human beings rely on them in terms of health. In my opinion,
employees decide their workplace themselves, which means the distance from their house is willingly acceptable at the beginning. Besides, people should have their own
judgment on the merits and the demerits when coming to a job chosen. And if they
eventually find out that they are suffering from travelling to work, maybe they
need to reconsider a new option for their job. To sum up, the intention of replacing
parks and gardens in the city with apartments buildings for commuters lacks of
necessary consideration. Therefore, I disagree with it. (266 words)
