I still feel as though I'm living in a ghost town

When I bought my small apartment in Chongqing's University City in 2013, people told me the area was going to be one of the most-populous sites because the government had invested 30 billion yuan ($4.5 billion) as part of a plan to attract 15 universities and 500,000 people.

Now, three years have passed and I still feel as though I'm living in a ghost town. Because there's no convenient bus route, the nearest supermarket is a 60-minute walk away, and the hospital is also quite far away.

The public transportation system hasn't been developed, so people in our community travel by electric-tricycle taxis operated by famers who live in the area.
