People in the city live in a relatively small space with concentrated population that can be quite congested.

In the United States, whether in New York or Los Angeles, there is no absolute difference between the city and the countryside. Only the city center has a small, relatively concentrated place. Others are cities and regions that radiate like satellites. A region has its own system of self-contained systems, shops, restaurants, hospitals, schools, and provides great convenience for those living in the area. People don&#8217;t need to do anything to get to the city center.\u00a0 You can do it in the area where you live.

Each state has its own different regulations.\u00a0 After you buy a house, you must pay real estate taxes every year and become the cost of holding your property. This also reduces the vacancy rate of American homes and relatively inhibits speculators&#8217; real estate speculation. We know that there are currently more than 30% of vacant houses in China, mainly because people think of buying a house as speculation. After buying a house, they are not staying or renting, but they are waiting for the real estate market to swell in the short term, so most of the investment houses are vacant. In order to curb the vacancy rate of houses, China began to test property tax in several big cities, but the property tax rate is only about 0.5%. \u2022 It cannot anticipate the suppression of real estate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-debfed7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"debfed7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c0f716\" data-id=\"5c0f716\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a4afdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5a4afdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5.
