SGrean: I want to buy a flat to stay in.
Govt: OK you have to get married first.
SGrean: Why marriage? I just want to buy a flat.
Govt: No cannot. I give alternative: buy private condo.
SGrean: Too expensive! cannot afford.
Govt: Actually you don’t really need a flat right, you can still squeeze in your parents flat.

How about…

SGrean: I want to take a bus to work.
Govt: OK you have to adopt a dog first.
SGrean: Why? I don’t want a dog. I just want to take a bus.
Govt: No cannot. I give alternative: you buy car.
SGrean: Too expensive! cannot afford.
Govt: Actually you don’t really need to take a bus right… you walk also can reach office what! Just wake up earlier!

So the people started to adopt dogs so they could take buses to work without buying a car, or walking. How would they treat the dog? What happens when you put this back into the 1st scenario?
