The Shrinking Condo
-
This is something i really dread, that someday home is some sort of iron cage.
Years ago, I visited some relatives in Hong Kong. I have already noted the size of their apartment and the amount they had to pay for it. Understandably, given their population on a tiny island like ours, land becomes scarces. I have a gut feeling back then that this is something we will see in a near future.
Now the time have come

Ok 7-11 did you go look at a new place or something?
-
my friend looked at an apartment... i forgot where...
he looked at the master bedroom...
he whipped out his measuring tape and realised that if he put in his bed, there'd be almost no place to put anything else without having to shuffle sideways in the room...

if you realise, HDBs and Condos in sg are getting smaller too.
the older apartments have bigger living room, bedrooms and kitchen.
now they are no bigger than a storeroom.

yes exactly.older apartments are much bigger.condos look nice on the outside,but pathetically small on the inside.just for the few facilities which i don't think the owners would always use,they have to pay more.hmm.. -

Lol I don't have intentions in selling my place anytime soon :x -
One of my lecturers told us about the time she visited her relatives in Hong Kong.
The flat was so small that the maid had to sleep by placing a plank over the bath tub.

Land to build commercial buildings can make more money than to build HDB or condos.
