Sadly, construction is not based on public utility, but rather political necessity.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-56808583201769131032011-12-28T08:37:25.123-08:002011-12-28T08:37:25.123-08:00And cars cost a LOT.
Seriously, the worst decisio...And cars cost a LOT.<br /><br />Seriously, the worst decisions I've made was getting a new car in Taiwan. In the end I'm stuck in a NT$18000 per month nightmare. And only my wife uses the car!!!! I've made it my intent to not use it at all.<br /><br />I could get a front-load cargo bike, a long-tail cargo bike and decent road bike, every single year.<br /><br />By commuting to work I get in 22km (or more) more riding per day than I would otherwise. Which is an hour of exercise that I wouldn't otherwise get.<br /><br />And when I see the huge amount of construction going into more roads around Taiwan, I can't help thinking that the answer is not more roads, but just less cars. And I know I'm right :)Peter Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651967384740765725noreply@blogger.com
