A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from an agent.

Vicente, I have this house for you, and you should take a look.

I receive the link.

I take a look.

The ratio rooms: people was 2:1 and I counted the cat as one.

“Too big for us”.

“Too big? But you can afford it”

“That may be true, but it’s too big, we don’t need that space”.

​

The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects.

​

If you thought that the decision was easy… it’s just too big… think twice.

Governments are offered new tunnels, new bridges or roads every day.

And in most cases, they are just too big, too expensive… too unnecessary.

But they keep buying.

Even when they only “may” afford it.

​

“But the bridge is too congested!”

“Have you thought about putting a toll to smooth traffic demand and get a few dollars for the maintenance or future expansion”?

The conversation should have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you have elections around the corner or some money from Brussels you need to spend, because there’s still money on the budget.
