The metropolis where I stay is 50% industrial area and 50% residential area, so you're right, the noise, air, water and land pollution is at its peak here, but people are still relocating to this area because it still remains a bit cheap.
Trees are being cut down to make space for people to live in, the drainage systems are getting worse, more people are now generating massive waste and still there are no adequate plans across the state on how to properly manage waste.
Of course the answer looks simple: depopulate concentrated areas, but the problem is that the areas that are not concentrated lacks basic amenities like accessibility to good road, electricity and all, and the area is lacks commercial hubs and ventures.
So people want to stay where the electricity, road and accessibility is good, and where they can properly do business as well, unfortunately everyone thinking the same way means there will be a population problem
The area lacks a lot of amenities, but it's better than rural areas with no commercial ventures.
The average business owners in these areas makes a lot of money and most times, it's always very competitive to own shops and lands as the area is quite competitive and owners are becoming increasingly greedy.
I guess it's just proper economics: more demand, prices go up, less demand, prices go down.
I take pictures of these areas, but I mostly don't share because everywhere looks the same and there are no places of interest.
I still don't do a lot of exploring whatsoever, but sometimes on my way to get my regular walks, I try to pop out my S25 Fe, and do some basic shooting and add some little edits.
Perhaps Someday I might start taking pictures of some interesting places like my friend Davek on Hive. 😂😂😂
