FFAQ (Filipino Frequently Asked Question) #1: Bakit may pera ka pambili ng kotse pero wala naman parking?
A: Kasi naubos na pera sa pagbili ng kotse na kailangan nila dahil walang pakialam ang gobyerno sa mga commuter. Wala sila parking kasi 2million sinisingil ni DCMI para sa slot, o kaya naman 5k/month ng apartment na inuupahan nila, or worse (like the case when we were still renting), wala talagang parking allotted - problema niyo na daw yan sabi ni landlord.
Of course, hindi natin sinasabi na tama ginagawa nila or kinukunsinte natin. We're just saying na there's a reason behind it and by regurgitating this same old question again and again as well as agreeing with the legislators pitching "No Parking, No Car" bills, you are unwittingly supporting the uncreative and inutile politicos. Isama mo na rin mga wealthy who don't have these problems because they can hoard vehicles to not be inconvenienced by whatever traffic management schemes concocted.
as time goes by, parami nang parami ang mga sasakyan to the point matatagalan ang pagpasok ng isang kotse sa highway na used to be 30 secs tops waiting lang, ngayon more than a minute or two na, minsan five. i resent our being car culture,
This circles back to the government. Bad transport breeds motorcycles and cars. Number coding schemes lead to more cars. Giving exemptions to those with purchasing power equals more cars, albeit better than fossil fuels I guess.
our government let this to happen for decades. it's disgusting. why we can't have limit of car ownership for every household? why our transport system is so limited? why we don't have proper parking spaces? are our roads future-proof?
No because one of the things they like to do is to "repair" the roads for kickbacks.
Also, they don't care about the transport systems because they don't use them.
