You can clear more lands for residential usage, but the overcrowding in the malls, on the roads, in car parks, in public transport, in your existing neighbourhoods will continue to worsen. Social ills will exacerbate.
The PAP govt is playing with fire. At what point is enough really enough? What good is this insatiable greed for GDP growth when you can't assure a respectable quality of life for your citizens?
Another thing: many of us are not obsessed with flipping properties to get rich quick. It's cool if you find happiness in such mercenary pursuits, but don't presume it is the 'correct' way to go about it for the rest of us. Most of us just want an affordable roof over our heads. Quite a few of us have also grown attached to our town and will not want to frivolously move house for some spare change in our pockets.
No wonder materialistic and shallow people support the PAP and its policies. They're made for each other.
