Queuing for popular items

People can queue for many hours, sometimes days, for popular products, for example:

a) new product releases
b) admission to primary schools
c) booking of hot properties

Sometimes, the long hours of queuing could lead to disputes among the people in the queue. Sometimes, proxies are used to stand in the queue in payment for a fee by the intended buyer.

Surely, there is a better way to handle the allocation of priority?

Here is my suggestion.

Hi Mr Tan,

Regarding hot properties, below is a latest Economist article about the obsession over property ownership & how govt policies to support this may have inadvertently resulted in negative consequences for both individuals & the cities' economies themselves.
