OVER-DEVELOPMENT KILLS?

Yan ang patunay sa isang kasabihan na “lahat ng sobra ay nakakasama na.” Oo, kahit sa lebel ng mga gusali’t iba pang imprastraktura ang usapan.

Ewan ko lang ha. Pero sa panahon na umuusbong ang kaliwa’t kanang mga proyekto sa Kamaynilaan, mapa-skyscraper man o flyover, parang luamala din ang epekto ng kalamidad ditto. As in, nag level-up din ba, baagy na talaga naming hindi maganda. Nagsulputan na parang kabute ang mga gusali na nilaan apra gawing mga unit ng condo, nagkaroon din ng mga magagandang alternatibong ruta para kahit papaano ay maibsan ang nakakabadtrip na heavy traffic. Pero dahil sa mga tulad ni Ondoy noong 2009 at noong Agosto, ang isang simpleng sama ng panahon na kung tawagin ay Habagat, tila na-negate nito ang mga pagusbong ng mukha sa Metro Manila. Saklap.

Kaya minsa, naisip ko, deklikado nga pala ang pagiging labis na developed ang isang lugar. Sabagay, sa nasabing termino nga naman na “labis,” e matik na masama na rin e, kahit gaano pa kaganda ang layunin.
