I’m glad you have time to make field trips like this. It’s a good sign for people who are being led by politicians.
On the attic issue, it is a help to people in a place like Thimphu where the upper Motithang area seems reserved for the elite with exorbitant rental charge.
It is nevertheless unhealthy. So, should we resolve it by putting a ban on it or by relaxing the rules and regulations? Something for intelligence to judge ……….where is our ‘intelligentsia’?

anonymous (4:01) show some respect. Do you even know what oposition leader means in a democracy. If you have a mind to think and reason you will know that OL is not in anyway less important than any minister, if not more.

In addition to honorable OL and others, I would like to share my views…

If skyscrapers in Japan can withstand the strongest of seismic waves, Bhutan is definitely a safe heaven for vertical constructions at least up to ten floors. This would forgo all problems associated with housing shortages, land requirement and price, cheaper construction and rental, environment friendly, green Thimphu and more….

hey anonymous,
have sum respect for somebody’s opinion. and how dare u call the OL “no lyonpo”. he is a lyonpo by people’s chioce and i guess u should respect it.
and Mr. OL, u are doing a great job. dont let people’s comments bother you. you know Bhutanese people have no sense of self respect. all they can do is mock other people’s achievements and hard work.
instead of appreciating you for bringing out these issues, all they do is pass nasty comments.
you ask them to write a 100 word article on any issue and they’ll keep staring at their blank screen for hours.
you keep going!

Dear Mr. Opposition Leader,

I know you only by reputation and reading your blog brings out your interesting, personable and intelligent personality, which I see isn’t limited to being a very savy political animal. For young voters like myself, you’re the kind of person we’d like to see in politics. Congratulations and good luck with your work.

Necessity is the mother of all invention..so they say. If there were no attics Engineers like me and many others would have lived hungry in 2004. (Pay Nu. 7000, house rent Nu.6000..how that attic saved me).
I don’t blame the building owners….and i don’t blame the bureaucrats but let’s look for a solution together.

its crazy that we have all this nice rules but no one to amend or implement it. I think it’s too late do anything about it since 9 out of 10 houses has illegal attic. I guess the government should just let it be and concentrate more on the safety of design.
