Porker Turbocharged July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Why not? Give me a reason. If you don't have a yardstick to compare with, how do you know one is cheaper than the other? Cheaper by how much? $150k for a 1,000 sq ft HDB as you had suggested, is cheap. Well it is not cheap if you are coming from say, Michigan, or Western Australia. So how cheap do you wanna go now? What are you comparing to, that is not so cheap? What a dumbfark statement! I had expected better from you Porker. Isn't it obvious that HDB land price should never be compared to private sector land price? And why are you bringing overseas properties into the picture? Don't be stupid and spew something out without thinking yeah? How about bringing in Iskandar's price if you wanna do so? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph22 Turbocharged July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 I disagree. Instead of the HDB standing there on that piece of land, providing affordable housing for the people, the Govt can bloody well sell that piece of land to private developers and the resulting 1,000 sq ft apartment will cost $2m. OK? So it is subsidised. it is only discounted pricing. subsidised only if its lower than cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear July 16, 2013 Share July 16, 2013 Land in Singapore has always been valued using Raffles Place land as the benchmark. Every square metre of land in any part of Singapore has the potential to be Raffles Place. This is even truer now - just look at Jurong East and Paya Lebar which are shaping up very nicely.

VIC.. stop spewing rubbish and pull your head the f*ck outta your a$$ ok? Since when has land in Singapore been valued using Raffles Place as a benchmark? I know you can afford a HDB without problem. Many here probably do. But think about the ramifications of them comparing HDB land price to private sector land price and then justify the increase in HDB price to ridiculous levels. People not as fortunate as you or me will find it very very hard to stomach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why are you bringing overseas properties into the picture? Don't be stupid and spew something out without thinking yeah? How about bringing in Iskandar's price if you wanna do so? No it is not obvious. Give me a reason why HDB land price should never be compared to private sector land. Is the soil different? Or is the sky above different? The water is different? Ah, i know, the grass is different. I bought in overseas properties because you ventured put a $ amount to the ideal HDB price and claimed that is truly "affordable". Affordable relative to who? To what? Surely there must be a benchmark! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still waiting. How HDB price their land is their problem. However, how they price their BTO HDB flat should not be peg to land price or private pricing. it should always be peg to ITE Grad for the cheapest unit.
