A swimming pool...a few security guards...what else?

should start a 9 year lease government. Every 9 years replace PM and political party without GE.

Not much difference but maybe less annoying people...

Can brag loudly : I stay at a CONDO !!

Then why pay so much more to stay in a 99 years pte condo???

 

[ragout]

Difference is space. For the same price HDB got more space.

Bragging certainly comes at a huge price...

condo: can sell to foreigners

but some condos should avoid, overcrowded with indian and china communities at swimming pools during weekends.

The difference is for private condo there's a chance gov will extend the lease, or there's a chance to enbloc the property and the new developer apply for a new 99 yr lease.

For HDB, when it's full time means game over.

Avoid condos in SengKang and Punngol. Whole place infested with Indian, Pinoys and PRC!

They will shower in the public toilet, pee in the pool, dry their clothes in public places and behave as if they own the whole development.

A strange difference : Strange that people pay more $$ to stay in a smaller flat. Must be those 60.1

Many girls wanna her hubby to be able to own either a condo or car. At least condo will not be near-zero value like car after 10 years.

In all honesty, during my field trips to newly completed condos, i admit that the girls (young owners) there, are usually better groomed or more chio.

1. you can lease out your condo, don't have to ask your uncle's permission.
2. you can place the property as security to borrow money.
3. you can fook the maintenance staff, security, gardener, caretaker......
4. you can bring PRC, PINOY, VIET, BUR, APUNEH< ANG MO...girls home, no body will complain about you.
5. you can have orgy party, no permission required.
6. you have voting right in anythings pertaining to your property eg. enblock, change security, install tap point, change gardener.
7. You can vote yourself into chairmanship and recommending your own kaki to take any works like PAP did.
etc.(endless benefits).

No void decks means no mat weddings or Chinese funerals in pte condo. But will have noisy kids and partying adults at pool and bbq area.

Also got Singapore Idol's relatives throwing uneaten food and drinks and trash into the swimming pool.

You must have stayed in both to understand the differences.

It's not just about the hardware / space etc..

Certainly nothing to do with bragging right.

Nothing surprising, leh. Pinoy now also want a part of SG to celebrate their national day as if they already own the country.

Unless you live in certain horrible ethnic enclaves (e.g. Melville Park ), a condo is a gated community which keeps out most of the riff-raff peasants.

HDB flats are a hit-and-miss when it comes to security. Depending on the location, you may encounter loanshark harrassment, kids stealing your shoes, perverts stealing your underwear, neighbours stealing your plants, neighbours urinating at your stairwell etc. Sometimes you may hear fighting/screaming/crying/broken glass bottles late at night at the carpark downstairs. Singapore is getting more unsafe with every passing year.

If you love playing tennis, condos are the way to go. It is a pain in the ass for HDB dwellers to play tennis.

The bad thing about condos is that some of them are located a bit far away from shops and transport hubs, it isn't exactly 'walking distance', especially for the folks who have difficulty moving about. You'll need a car.

No one imposes ethnic quota on race in condo. You can have whole floor of FTsh to mingle with, whether you like it or not, smelly or not, etc.

Why pay so much to live in condo and suffer living with foreigners? Some of them are just shitheads.

 

[zhihau]

what else?

the selling price of a pte condo is higher?
