The shortage of housing in big cities can cause severe consequences and only governmental actions can solve the problem.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The shortage of housing in large cities makes life difficult for many ordinary residents, and I agree that this is a problem governments must help to solve. However, I do not accept that only governments can solve it, because other groups also have the capacity to ease the pressure.
Intro：
S1 复述题目：大城市住房短缺让许多普通居民生活艰难，这确实是政府必须出手解决的问题
S2 表明立场：但不认同"只有政府能解决"，其他群体同样有能力缓解压力
The main problem associated with housing shortage is that it steadily lowers the quality of life for ordinary city residents. As the supply of housing falls short of demand, rents and real estate prices rise, forcing people to spend an ever larger share of their income on housing alone. As a result, many families either cut back on food, education and health care, or move to the suburbs, trading cheaper homes for a longer daily journey to work. Whichever path they take, their standard of living falls, and their daily life becomes harder.
Body 1：
S1 论点：住房短缺最直接的后果是持续拉低普通市民的生活质量
S2 解释：住房供给跟不上需求，房租与房价上涨，人们不得不把收入中越来越大的一块花在住房上
S3 结果：于是家庭要么压缩食品、教育与医疗开支，要么搬到郊区，用更长的日常通勤换取更便宜的房子
S4 回扣：无论走哪条路，生活水平都下降、日子都更难过
Admittedly, governments have both the responsibility and capacity to solve this problem. The government's control over city planning allows it to release more land for housing purposes. In addition, it can direct more funds into construction and thus provide homes for those who need them. Many cities, for example, have moved old factories out to the suburbs so that the land is freed up to build cheap rental housing for families who qualify. Thus, the problem of housing shortage is largely mitigated, and only the government has the means and scale to lead such work.
Body 2：
S1 让步+论点：政府既有责任也有能力解决这个问题
S2 解释：政府对城市规划的掌控权，使它能够释放更多土地用于住房
S3 解释：政府还能把更多资金投向建设，为需要的人提供住房
S4 例证：许多城市把老工厂迁往郊区，腾出土地为符合条件的家庭建廉租房
S5 回扣：住房短缺因此大幅缓解，而牵头这类工程所需的资源与规模只有政府具备
However, beyond governmental actions, developers and employers can also do much to ease the shortage. At its root is an imbalance between housing supply and demand: too few homes are built, while too many people seek to live in the city. Developers can put up high-rise blocks instead of low-density houses, fitting far more homes on the same land, while employers can allow their staff to work remotely, which lowers the demand for city living. Neither of these measures rests on the state, so the shortage cannot be resolved by the government acting alone.
Body3：
S1 转折+论点：除政府之外，开发商与雇主也能为缓解短缺做很多事
S2 解释：问题的根源是住房供需失衡，建的房子太少，而想住进城里的人太多
S3 解释：开发商可以建高层住宅而非低密度住房，让同样的土地容纳更多家庭；雇主则可以让员工远程办公，从而降低市区居住需求
S4 回扣：这些措施都不依赖国家，因此仅靠政府无法解决短缺
In short, housing shortages in large cities do cause serious harm, and governments must take the lead because they hold the land, the funds and the authority the problem requires. Yet the supply added by developers and the demand reduced by flexible working are equally important, and leaving everything to the government would only prolong the shortage.
Con：
S1 收束：大城市住房短缺确实危害严重，政府必须牵头，因为它掌握解决该问题所需的土地、资金与权限
S2 延展：但开发商增加的供给与弹性办公压低的需同样重要，把所有事都交给政府只会让短缺拖得更久
