Picanto 3rd Gear September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 At the end of the day.....to put it bluntly, having more money means more options....... If you have money......you can afford to have cars, condos, country clubs, expensive holidays....BUT it's your prerogative if you choose to live a prudent lifestyle like living in HDB...take BMW.....go Genting for holiday... If no money.....living in HDB is no longer about choice.....taking the BMW is no longer about choice.....going to Genting for family holiday is no longer about choice.... So, I do not see any point in arguing condo is better or HDB is better.....if you can afford to stay in condo but choose to stay in HDB...good for you.....but do not criticize others who made a lifestyle choice so long as they can afford it...... If you can only afford to stay in HDB.....all the more please do not have the sour grapes mentality that afflict quite a number of singaporeans.... if one day you lose your job and stay in a 1 ROOM HDB FLAT, we will buy sour grapes for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnoikj Neutral Newbie September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 Dun worry...not elitist...becos even stay condo also got different grade/class....u compare staying in a condo in the suburbs vs one in districts 9, 10... truth is, most hdb upgraders can only afford to stay in suburban condos...is it an indication they are better than HDB dwellers? maybe....but u look at those who stay in these condos vs those in district 9, haha...very big difference... so no use comparing HDB vs Condo etc...

Wreckwrx 1st Gear September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 Nowadays a brand new suburban condo is going for almost the price as some of the older D9/D10 developments... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm more facilities is always better....not? So where do you stay? I am just curious. And Why? So at least that can put some perspective and enable us to better understand where you are coming from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia 4th Gear September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 (edited) I dont think Punggol is a "wasteland" judging by the influx of BTO coming up in the region. If im not wrong, after the completion of the $25 million waterway project in 2010, we shld be able to see some condo sites projects just along the waterway(which are considered prime locations)... Anyone remember the term 'Punggol 21'? If 10+ years of low-price HDBs did not increase in increasing demand and population density, I'm sure a series of prime developments would..

Thargor 1st Gear September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 Read my post earlier...I don't stay condo...although i have in the past done so... Hehe me HDB upgrader staying in condo now...okay I cannot afford a D9/10 condo thats for sure. So I will not say even if I can afford, I will not buy a condo at D9/10 since my parents actually stay 10 minutes works from my current plac... hehe peace out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bfree Neutral Newbie September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 If we were to look closely at the way Punggol estate was constructed, it seems to me Punggol is the next profitable project for HDB to both sell the land or build "high-end" HDB flats in it. There are a few nos of blocks missing frm the sequences..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carndablues Clutched September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 So, I do not see any point in arguing condo is better or HDB is better..... The point is.....it's easier to get laid if you stay in a condo versus staying in a HDB...FACT! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto_emocion 2nd Gear September 3, 2009 Share September 3, 2009 How do you define quality of life? Does staying in condo mean a better quality of life? I don't think so loh. U can stay in HDB but still enjoy a quality lifestyle. Is all about your priority in life. I have seen ppl who are cash rich staying in HDB, house fully paid, change car every 4-5 yrs and is fully paid, own country club membership, every year go holiday with family. I have also seen ppl staying in condo, have to think twice when spending, buying car got to think here think there and end up still driving their 7yrs old car, no holiday so far. So tell me who is having quality life? And i don't see anything wrong with staying in 99 yrs lease, afterall we don't live that long so what is the diff. I dont like to put anyone down, but those pple on strata-living will know what is quality of life. And most importantly, pte property is very flexible bcoz you owned it and you can do whatever u want so long within the strata-title act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
