    Why can’t our government enact a law that limits car ownership to those with a dedicated parking space? There are multiple cars here that take up sidewalk space and if sinita mo sila, ikaw pa yung mali kasi andami naman daw puwedeng pagtuunan ng pansin, yung kotse pa nila.

      Maybe… Because the government can’t provide an efficient and adequate public transportation system.

      Because the govt don’t want to ruin the illusion of the middle class achieving individual progress by having a car. You don’t want the middle class angry.

      Because the govt don’t want to fight car and petroleum industries who will benefit from the higher sales of cars.

        agree. kasi sila mismo owner/investor/family-related/friens nung mga business man. Alam nila malulugi ang car business or oil companies pag gumanda ang transportation

      Because such a rule is clearly anti-poor. It’s the same reason why number coding is a bunch of BS. Those who can afford extra cars would just buy more cars. The guy who barely could pay his Wigo are the only ones truly affected.

      Speaking from experience, the apartment we used to stay at didn’t provide any parking spaces, so tenants had nowhere to park their cars but in the streets. Potential landlords should be required to provide a lot (or build one on their own land via basement) before being allowed to rent out spaces. But nope, elevator nga lang na dapat you should have when building a structure with 3 or more floors nakakalusot sa building inspection.
