Ⅲ 次の架空のニュース英文を読み、設問に答えよ

The mountain town of Kirino has been losing residents for decades as young people move to large cities. As a result of this ( 1 ), nearly a third of its houses are now empty. Two years ago, the town began offering these houses at low prices to people who promised to live there for at least five years. So far, 35 families have moved in, including several who work remotely for companies in Tokyo. The town has also seen more foreign visitors, who come to enjoy its hot springs and traditional festivals. However, some long-time residents worry that the town's narrow roads cannot handle large tour buses. The mayor says the town welcomes visitors, but it also wants to protect residents' daily lives.
