Of Worrying Trend

Government builds roads, roads get crowded, government make people pay more to use road, traffics gets smoother, traffics get bad again due to more cars, most people(6million in future), tax people more to use road, traffic gets better(hopefully)

Government builds flats, people move in, are happy, become unhappy because there is no lifts on every floor when they become older, goverment builds lift, people happy again, government ask people to co-pay, people becomes less happy

I take pride in my government, but had our roads been wider, had our roads been higher with more layers and thus increase lane(sidetrack: 1 road, 4lanes vs 2 roads, 3lanes normal, 3lanes flyover) in the first place, would the roads be crowded?

Had lifts that stops on every floor been built in the beginning, the current constructions could be avoided..

Market Segmentation:Dividing or cutting your market into group with same characteristics and behaviour..
So now only those can afford will use the expressway? Can't afford? Take small road lor..

Want lifts? Pay for it.. its already cheaper than building yourself (duh)If the early HDB plan was that people will grow old and need lifts for every level, would the cost then be lower or higher?
Inflation of building materials VS Cost-savings from technology






Pardon me, just some economics running in my klayhead
