× It's a huge city with dense population, so there are many people on the street.
✓ It's a huge city with a dense population, so there are many people on the streets.
'Population' as a countable noun here needs an article: 'a dense population'. Also 'on the street' is usually pluralized to 'on the streets' when referring generally to many people in a city. Use: 'a dense population' and 'on the streets'.
× The transportation system is well connected and efficient so it's convenient to get around, although it's crowded, but I think it's worth living there.
✓ The transportation system is well connected and efficient, so it's convenient to get around despite the crowds; I think it's worth living there.
The original uses conflicting conjunctions 'although' and 'but' together and has awkward phrasing. Replace 'although it's crowded, but' with 'despite the crowds' to show contrast succinctly. Also add punctuation to separate clauses. This improves clarity and grammatical structure.
× I've lived here for 20 years and I've never moved, so I have many close friends nearby and I've made great memories here.
✓ I've lived here for 20 years and have never moved, so I have many close friends nearby and have made great memories here.
Repetition of 'I've' is not ungrammatical but removing the second 'I've' (contraction) and using parallel structure ('have never moved', 'have made') is smoother. Ensure present perfect is used for actions continuing to the present.
× It's it feels comfortable and familiar to me.
✓ It feels comfortable and familiar to me.
The sentence contains a duplicated subject 'It's it'. Remove the extra 'it' to form a correct clause. Maintain simple present tense for describing general feelings.
× It also offers plenty of job opportunities and universities.
✓ It also offers plenty of job opportunities and has many universities.
'Offers universities' is awkward; institutions are usually described as 'has' or 'is home to'. Replace with 'has many universities' to use a natural preposition/verb collocation.
× In addition, it has a vibrant nightlife, so they can enjoy socializing and entertainment.
✓ In addition, it has a vibrant nightlife, so young people can enjoy socializing and entertainment.
Pronoun 'they' is grammatically fine but vague; using 'young people' maintains clear reference to the subject of the question. No major tense or grammar change, just clarity of reference.
