What is Better: A City or a Suburb? (Draft)

When someone is moving, they ponder: should I move to a city or a suburb? Well first of all, you may be wondering what cities and suburbs are. According to dictionary. com, cities are major metropolitan centers of regions; while suburbs are districts lying immediately outside a city or town, especially a smaller residential community. When you compare them with each other, they have many differences.
Then comes whether city or a suburb is a better place to live in. A suburb is a much better place to live in. There are many reasons why, including that the air in suburbs is cleaner, suburbs are less crowded, and it's safer in suburbs.
First, suburbs have cleaner air. In cities, the air is polluted from factories excreting greenhouse gases and cars ejecting waste, and there's hardly any trees to let out oxygen. Most suburbs are abundant with trees, with almost no factories and harmful gas from cars. If you stay outside a whole day in a city and a suburb smelling the air, you'll sense a large difference. Suburbs are a lot cleaner.
The next reason is suburbs aren't crowded. Many people, including me, are claustrophobic, meaning that we're afraid of being in enclosed and narrow places. Cities are heavily populated, so it's very easy to get lost. In the suburbs, everything is spread out and moving around is a lot easier and safer. You'll have a lot more privacy. This also reduces the chance of somehow losing your way.
Finally, there's more safety in suburbs. In cities, many robberies and kidnappings take place. A city's high population makes it more likely to have crimes than a suburb. If you don't believe this statement, take a look at the news. People who live in a city and are scared of being robbed or kidnapped, should definitely consider moving to a suburb.
A suburb is a much better place to be. Although a city isn't too bad, suburbs are the right choice. Suburbs are nice and clean, not so crowded, and are a lot safer than cities. If you ever come in contact with a choice between moving to a city or a suburb, you know the right thing to do.
