There is significant shortage of comfortable housing in this region. Therefore, it would be expedient to build new several apartment buildings for people who start their professional activity and residential complex for families. The empty space for these buildings can be found by dint of the demolition of the existed unusable constructions. Funding for some direction of development also requires rethinking. First of all, I would strongly recommend the council to spend more many for public transportation, so people could get to work faster. Secondly, we need for more public institutions, in particular, a well-stocked library and community centers which provide information about events in our region. In addition, the funds can be used to create new playgrounds for children. By doing this you can attract families to buy apartments in this district. Unfortunately, our region becomes to take positions in recent years. In particular, there are a lot of graffiti on the walls of buildings and constructions, many streets are full of old wrecked cars and trash. These cars must be evacuated, the walls must to be cleaned. Another suggestion is planting trees and flowers along the highways just to make the streets more attractive for everyone. In general, I believe that new housings, good public transportation, having more public facilities, new park zones are profitable investment. It certainly makes the life in our city more attractive to young people, to people who have just started their professional activity.
