WhyILovetheCity
Alotofmyfriendsaremovingoutofthecity.They'rebuying
housesinthesuburbsbecausetheywanttogetawayfromthenoise,smog,
traffic,andcrimeofthecity.Onefriendsays,“There'stoomuchair
pollutioninthecity.Ipreferthesuburbs,wheretheairisclean.”
Anotherfriendcomplainsaboutthetraffic:"Therearetoomanycars
downtown!Youcan'tfindaparkingplace,andthetrafficjamsare
terrible.Everyonecomplainsaboutcrime:"Thecityisfullof
criminals.Irarelyleavemyhouseatnight一it'stoodangerous.,z
Beforemyfriendsmoveoutofthecity,theyusuallyrecitethe
advantagesofsuburbanlife:greengrass,flowers,swimmingpools,

flowers,greengrass,trees,andanimals.Inthecity,Ihaveallthe
advantagesofnature:Icanwalkthroughthepublicpark,smellthe

Itseemsthateveryoneismovingtothesuburbstoavoidthecrime
ofthebigcities.Ihaveatheoryabouturbancrime,however,soIfeel
safedowntown.Thecriminallifewillreflectchangesinsociety:if
peoplearebuyinghomesinthesuburbs,thecriminalswillsoonfollow.
Criminalswanttoavoidnoise,smog,andpollution,too.Soon,
overcrowdingandcrimewillbeproblemsofthesuburbsinsteadofthe

PeopleontheMove
ThehistoryoftheAmericanpeopleis,inpart,thehistoryof
themovementoftheAmericanpeople.Theymovedfromthecoloniesof
theEastCoasttotheopenspacesoftheWest.Theymovedfromthecountry
andthefarmtothecity.Morerecently,Americanshavebeenmovingfrom
thecitiestothesuburbs.
OpenSpace;TheMoveWest
PioneerAmericansbeganmovingfromtheEastCoasttotheWest
250yearsago.Theymovedwestformanyreasons.Onereasonwasthe
availabilityofunlimitedopenspaceandlandforfarming.Americans
likedlargeopenspaces,andtheyalsolikedthefreedomand
independencetodevelopthelandintheirownway.Someoftheland
becamefarms.Importantmineralswerediscoveredinsomeareas,sosome
ofthelandbecamemines.Otherlargeareasbecamecattleranches.There
seemedtobeenoughlandforeverybody.Butitwasadifficultlife
一alifeofendlessworkandhardship.
TheCities
After1860,theIndustrialRevolutionchangedtheUnitedStates.
Americanslearnedhowtomanufacturesteel.Theybegantoproduce
petroleum.Theautomobilewasinvented.Factoriesofallkindsbegan
toappear,andcitiesbegantogrowuparoundthefactories.Farmers
andothercountrypeoplemovedtothegrowingcitiesinordertofind
jobsandaneasierlife.Intheearly1900s,thecitieswerebusy,
excitingplaces.However,therewasalsoalotofpovertyandhardship.
Thecitiesgrewup一thebuildingsgottaller-andthecitiesgrew
out一theyspreadoutfromthecenter.Privatehouseswithyardsand
porchesdisappeared.Apartmentbuildings,eachonetallerthanthenext,
tooktheirplace.Moreandmorepeoplemovedtothecities,andthe
citiesgotbiggerandbigger.
Somecitiescouldnotspreadoutbecausetherewasnoroomtodo
so.Thesecities,ofwhichNewYorkisthebestexample,becamemore
andmorecrowded.Morepeoplemeantmorecars,trucks,andbuses,more
noise,morepollution,andmorecrime.Manycitiesbecameuglyanddirty.
Somepeopleandsomebusinessesbegantoleavethecitiesandmoveto
thesuburbsoutsidethecities.
TheSuburbs
Themovetothesuburbsisstillhappening.Americansarelooking
forasmallpieceoflandthattheycancalltheirown.Theywantahouse
withayard.However,theydonotwanttogiveupthegoodjobsthey
haveinthecity.Inmanycases,companiesinthesuburbsgivethemjobs.
Inothercases,Americanstendtocommutetoandfromthecitieswhere
theirjobsare.Inrecentyears,moreandmorebusinessesaremoving
tothesuburbs.Theyareattractingmanypeopleandthesuburbsare
becomingcrowded.
WhatNext?
Americanshavewatchedtheirbigcitiesfallslowlyinto
disrepairanddie.Manymiddle-classpeoplehaveleftthecities,and
onlytheveryrichandtheverypoorarestayingbehind.
ConcernedAmericansaretryingtosolvetheproblemsofnoise,
dirt,crime,andpollutioninthebigcities.Theyaretryingtorebuild
badsectionsofthecitiesinordertoattractandkeepbusinesspeople.
Theyaretryingtomaketheircitiesbeautiful.NowmanyAmericansare
thinkingofmovingbacktothecities.
OtherAmericansarefindingthateventhesuburbshavebecometoo
crowded.Theyarelookingforunpollutedopenspacesandforan

PerhapsAmericanswillalwaysbeonthemove.
