In Order for Straw Pickup Trucks to Pass Through Narrow Roads, Residents' Houses Are Demolished

Dream - Having a house with easy and strategic road access is the dream of many people. However, not all residential roads are wide.

Some are narrow and can only be passed by one car with a motorcycle. Therefore, homeowners must be careful in estimating the size of the house before building it.

Don't let this incident happen to you due to miscalculation. Recently, the action of a homeowner demolishing the roof of his house so that a straw-loaded pickup truck can pass through went viral on social media.

In a post on the Instagram account @video_medsos, it shows a pickup truck getting stuck when trying to pass through a residential road.

The truck stopped because the roof of a resident's house was too wide, blocking the side of the road. It can be seen in the video that the residential road is quite narrow.

Even its width is only enough for one car to pass. Seeing the condition, the homeowner gave in. With the help of a saw, the man demolished the roof of his house with the help of a neighbor.

Residents in Magetan, East Java complained about the unclear width of the road, causing their houses to be affected although they had to reluctantly accept it.

The video went viral and garnered sympathy from netizens. Many praised the homeowner's clever action of demolishing the roof of his house.

However, some also blamed the pickup truck driver for carrying a load exceeding the capacity.

"Does the pickup truck pass through every day?? Why does it burden the homeowner? This is a criminal act. Damaging other people's property. Ckckck," wrote @yudhisuryacbl_

"The load exceeds the width of the pickup truck," wrote @ridhuan_art

"The homeowner must feel oppressed... and remember that the prayer of the oppressed is answered," wrote @muflikhulhadi8

The Narrowest Alleyway in Jakarta, Only as Wide as a Shoulder

Dream - The land in Jakarta has an area of approximately 664.01 km² with a population of 10,562,088 people. The population continues to increase every year, so it is difficult to find empty land in Jakarta.

All the land has been used as residential areas to accommodate tens of thousands of residents. Therefore, it is not surprising that houses in Jakarta are all closely packed together.

In residential areas, sometimes the road space for access to houses is very minimal. Recently, a narrow alleyway in Jakarta, which is only as wide as an adult's shoulder, went viral on social media.

Road Only as Wide as a Shoulder

It is estimated that a man with an upright posture and wide shoulders may have to tilt his body when passing through the narrow alleyway.

It is known that the alleyway is located in the Udayana residential area, Makasar District, East Jakarta.

Narrow Alleyway but Still Suitable for Drying Clothes

After passing through the small alleyway, a larger alleyway can be seen with doors of residents' houses. It can be seen that residents can still hang their laundry in front of their houses.

There is even one resident who parks his motorcycle in front of his house in the alleyway.

Netizens' Pros and Cons

Although small and narrow, the residential area with small alleyways received praise from netizens.

"But it's very clean," wrote the account Umama Umu Amor.

There are also those who oppose it and feel that the small alleyway feels 'stuffy'.

"He walks and I feel short of breath," wrote the account Trisya.
