Maybe they want to keep the kampong spirit alive?:p

SG govt will always ensure that HDB remain "affordable" even if it means citizens are slaves to debts for life...

That's why the days of making money from HDB are very much over for many of us born after the 70s....those who born after that period who can make big money from selling HDBs are probably those who are quite well off (e.g. blessed with rich dads) who can already buy at good locations and then...

Haiz...maybe we should have all been born 40 years earlier! Then maybe will huat gao gao from selling HDB.

May not be that bad also. Some of the condos are smack in areas where clinics and food and minimarts are just a road across.

Yep...bought resale. Maybe should have been born 30 years earlier...maybe still got chance to sell early HDBs forn $700k and earn $600K super profits. I mean, the point is that HDB will not be huat for everyone, or maybe I just damn unlucky lor. :(

As inspiring as this example may be, and good for them, it is of little consolation to those not born in the early era where people at that time bought their HDBs at $20-$40K which are also big. These people are in their 60s or 70s, but what about those in their late 30s or 40s?

I did check the internet for recent transacted prices. My house is not in far flung place, but also not very near to MRT. Not here not there...house also more than 30 years old...so I cannot expect much....yes the rental income is very useful for paying the mortgage in JB. :)

Or go JB and buy a nice 1+1 fully furnished condo unit along the straits view for less than $200k and still have $100k to eat. :D

That's what I told my aged parents, they are sitting on gold mine....but they do not want to move...life is simple and cozy.

JB condos come in all shapes and sizes, but many of them are painted mostly white with some black. A bit standard...boring...wonder why.:confused:

Will just have to see how terrible I will die by then lor...

I tried using Tuas before....can ride and cry at same time...because also can be jammed like hell and distance to home more than doubled! :( The only good thing about Tuas side is that there is no upslope viaduct like Woodlands, so can switch off engine and push bike on flat road. At Woodlands...

Actually my point is that selling away the HDB unit does not necessary mean can make a big pile of money and keep it in pocket. I am such an example lor....:(

Darn! I must be really unlucky! Based on average transacted selling prices, if there is any profits to be made at all, only 5 figure profits which is no where near $99,999! Ya, while I am getting rental, it is to go to other people's pockets because still need to service MY housing and car...

Tell me about it! The bike jam was horrible! More than a 1000 bikes waiting to be served by only 6 manned counters while the other 14 counters were at idle mode. Bikers were horning and booing. Time for ICA to start paying higher salaries to attract more officers.

This is the kind of living space many Singaporeans would dream of!

Maybe the true spirit and meaning of public housing is found in Malaysia LCH model. In Singapore maybe the Govt also feel embarassed to call it low cost housing, instead they use the anomalous "affordable" housing which means for many to be indebted for life. Pretty much a lifetime of...

Most of my dvds and blurays are "original copies"! :D

Pardon my ignorance but I thought LCH is like those apartment buildings that I see where cars park under the void decks. Stulang have something like that, right?
