waste

Tile. Remove. Re-tile. Re-remove. Re-re-tile. Re-re-remove. And it goes on.

That tiled pavement just next to the playground at the bottom of my block undergoes (and is undergoing) so many rounds of face-lift, one loses count. And for what may I ask, for at the end of each cosmetic surgery, it carries that same old look... same old alignment... same old pattern...

Dig and build, dig and build.

Madness. Waste of money, labour and time. Taxpayers' money, labourers' sweat and energy, everybody's time. The dust it generated pollutes the air too. And by cordoning off the area time and again, it deprives users of real use.

Not clever. And definitely not meaningful.
