Actually what is so great about our HDBs?​

Everytime i see articles online like its the best invention by our government since the invention of slice bread! Having live one my entire life i feel its prone to bad low ses wierd neighbours, poor noise insulation, Cluttered corridors, lack of security and so on... Even across the causeway there are plenty of nice condos with gyms and swimming pools at a fraction of cost of our HDBs!

Leasehold is leasehold no matter how the garhmen try to slice and dice.... the value will eventually reaches almost $0 by the >60 - 70 years or so (you try stay in a building that is like 60 - 70 years old you see) to eventually the proverbial $0 value. That appiles to all other property in between that is leasehold UNLESS IT IS A FREEHOLD (A TOTAL DIFFERENT BALL GAME). Not to forget to factor in the time value of money. Sub rent your leasehold unit itself is a joke.... if you know what I am saying that is.

That being said, HDB is not an invention by the garhmen. It is more like a direct copy from the communist Soviet Union.

HDB flats are invented for low SES to make people living in private property feel good. We live in a world of duality. Without low SES, there can be no high SES.

Low SES are here to complement high SES. Same for people who use public transport.​
