co2fan >> Hard for them to notice lah. Before they walk the grounds, their kah kias would have chased the poor ppl away liao. If they really want to walk the ground, they should visit the 1 room rental flats. Those places are where some of the poor in Singapore live in.
One thing for sure is that the current govt will never let the housing price collapse. Like they say, more than 80% are living in HDBs. If price collapses, 80% of the population's wealth will be wiped away. So they have to make this 80% happy, let the 80% think that the place that they live in are growing in price (In actual fact, how many of this 80% are buying/selling houses everyday?).
They will make smaller and smaller units, until next time maybe 4 room flats are 70-80 sqm, so that the flats are still "affordable".
Anyway this is getting too heavy. Lets keep the coffee talk else where, or we can bring this to a private discussion via PM or IMs. I do have some theories on HDB house pricing, but such things are too sensitive to post publicly. hahaha..
