Life in Metro City

 It is a dream of most individuals to live in an area with modern infrastructure, guaranteed job opportunities, accessible industries, transportation, and housing. Amidst the glamor of security lights at night, technology is a tool of convenience to everyone and making money is the top priority. That kind of fancy life has for long been associated with metro areas. Rural-urban migration continues to be a challenge to many countries with the growth of metro cities. The rich resources endowed at the urban regions lure village men to seek refuge and source of income in the cities. No reason to worry about the densely populated towns for where monetary and better life incentives exist, there is a will to forgo such imaginations.

Sociologically, the huge number of people form a perfect social interaction cycle and even business partners and customers contrary to less-populated places. The modes of entertainment are plenty making life enjoyable, exciting and thrilling. The entertainment sites enrich metro life making it one of the kind way beyond living in any other place. In spite of all the fascination the metro city life offers, there are huge costs attached to it.  The large population crowded in small areas poses a housing challenge leading to slum creation and expansion. Life in such places is never a fairy tale. Insecurity, shelter, food, clothing and sanitation becomes part of one’s life. Finding a job that pays well becomes a dream in a metro city drawing one to temporary blue-collar jobs that pay pennies not worthy to sustain a life. Unlike in suburbs, to acquire something be it food or housing require monetary which in itself is a rare substance with the competition inherent in the populous region. 

The living standard of a metro city is quite high making the allure of better jobs and facilities fade away once inside. The attractive salary withers away with superfluous expenses leaving one worse off as someone living in a village without a job. Nonetheless, the lucky ones with creative, talented and educational endowment do get lucky and outdo the city challenges. Traffic is another nightmare accustomed to city life. One has to spend hours of doing nothing due to slow transportation affected by the many people accessing the city or their workplaces..
