Great news people, I read this in the papers today: http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_560829.html

Just from personal experience, the carpark at my block goes out of lots fast. Only a couple of lots are marked for season ticket holders like me, so if I happen to get back late at night, I’d usually have no more lots left. I will then be hunting around for a white lot (or just about any lot!). I end up parking a distance away from my house, so I simply have to walk abit. Good thing my carpark is huge. OPEN AIR FTW.

Last time, the situation was worse! There would be no lots at all, even when I went so far away (like 5-6 blocks away). Now why would HDB/URA sell me the season ticket when I couldn’t even get one lot that I PAID for? Okay that aside, I noticed that many lorries took up the lots. AND THEY HAD NO SEASON PARKING TAGS. Some don’t even put coupons!

Shouldn’t lorries be parked in some heavy vehicle carpark? To me, anything bigger than a Class 3 license is a heavy vehicle. I hate those lorries.

Now the nightly charge is $4, but cmon what difference does it make even if it’s $10? The solution is not to charge higher, although it helps to somewhat deter. But if people need the lot, they’ll still pay any amount, or simply: buy a season parking tag. For me, the solution is to require heavy vehicles to be parked at their rightful places. And then, demand of season parking ticket goes up. With limited supply, HDB/URA can increase the prices of the season tickets :D And then Singaporeans will complain for a brief time, but lan-lan pay up because they need to park their cars. Btw what happened to Jack Neo? Singaporeans no talk?

One more thing. Maybe the reason we run out of lots is because Singaporeans are getting too fuckin rich. Some families own 2-3 cars, how like that? But end up only 1 driver for each car. Waste of space. What to do, so rich right. Then price increase abit, kaobei so much. Singaporeans! Hahahaha.
