Pricing of HDB flats (2)

I propose this new approach to pricing HDB flats to remove the impression that the flats are unaffordable.

When we go to the hospital, everyone is treated equally. If you want more comfort, it is your own choice to pay more for a single room. There is no such thing as subsidising like the Prime Location Housing for a 'deserving few'.

No more propaganda about land being more expensive than before. My mother lives in a 10-storey HDB building. I got my flat 6 years and I believe the building is 40 storeys. This is 4 times housing on the same piece of land which they had never acknowledged.

DBS obscene pay hike, he deserves it.

If he so clever, why not make him finance minister and earn big money for the country.; March 13, 2023 3:41 AM

It is a basic requirement for a good and responsible government.

If the flats are of good quality and comfortable, people would not have the silly idea of MOP 5 years , sell make a profit and buying privately to extend themselves commercially.
Fewer upgrades mean the private properties' price increase is not too intense. Those who have the option to sell just do not fancy their flats. Why?

The government would not have to keep adding and adjusting rules to properties whether public or private making everything off balance in so often frequencies.

There are 3 surviving elements that humans cannot live without. Homes, hospitals and schools. Schools and hospitals have not been compromised. Housing has become a drama and being a supposedly rich country, this should never have become a such burden for its citizens.; March 13, 2023 8:14 AM

Not enough land to build homes for its own people.

Some very old private condos with huge lands are difficult to get enbloc due to 80% requisition. Prices need to be high for owners to sign but developers would not pay. Land becomes underutilized.

Rather than finding solutions, just use money and punishment to solve them.; March 14, 2023 1:51 PM
