Is development really improve the quality of life.
In short, my humble opinion is NO.
Individuals usually will think that there's always well-paid jobs in a rapid development area. And thus, the area becomes highly densed. In relates to their purchasing power, everyone needs to have cars to travel despite the presence of public transport in town.
Take an instance in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor areas. Despite local authorities have been resurfacing the affected roads, there's always potholes mis-aligning our car tyres.Gush of cars at peak hours also contribute to massive traffic jams.
It has been a rampant issue, that people double park(and can go up to triple) their cars without feeling guilty at all, this phenomena can be seen in Brickfields, which is done to buy things at the Little India.
Again, local councils have to station its enforcement officers to stand and tell (summon) the public, "Sir, you cannot do double parking as it will affect the traffic flow".
Public complains that there's not enough parking at certain area. Then huge amount of money will be fork out to build multistorey carparks. Perhaps if it will tackle the insufficient parking for temporary, but in few years time?will it still be able to supply the demand? Motor companies manufacture cars everyday, people will certainly continuing to buy cars. Multistorey carparks is not an ultimate solution, as one day, the developed areas will run out of vacant land.
The erection of commercial centres and residential areas are also affecting the 'proper planning town'. Should developers keep on making profit from whichever or wherever available lands, it will always disturb the current harmony system-physically and sociology.
Residential associations kept on doing protests saying that local councils are approving unnecessary development which cause worse traffic congestion, the changing traffic lights, routes and etc.
Besides, in certain reported cases, religious buildings were also demolished to make way for development.
Rapid development also invite others who the locals claim as 'uninvited guests who bring social problems here' also come here for job opportunity.
With above mentioned issues, isn't that show development has to have a limit in expanding it? Isn't it time to sustain and improve on whatever is in presence?
What if one day, peninsular becomes an unlivable place to stay anymore. Will these people migrate to Sabah and Sarawak, but with intention to ruin it again?
