Ever since last August, more ambulance sirens are heard. Sometimes (few times a week) will hear siren middle of the nite. It didn't help when the fire station is nearby too. Some people may not like it. 😄 So if stay there have to get used to it. I'm used to it already.😄 ↡ Advertisement 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showster Twincharged September 5, 2019 Share September 5, 2019 Practically speaking, it might not be a bad idea to be near a hospital. The optimal state is to be a couple of streets away and not directly beside or facing it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic September 5, 2019 Share September 5, 2019 It's interesting that Japan is discouraging high rise.. I guess they really have that population and birth crunch.. A real contrast to the past decade and also to us.. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Construction/Fearing-ghost-towns-Japanese-cities-ban-high-rise-condos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different story. The density is also more manageable with more options to build outside city centre. We really have very little choice in this regard.

Khng8 4th Gear September 5, 2019 Share September 5, 2019 From urban planning point of view, there are many advantages if the population can work, live, play over a smaller area. For one, less commute time & traffic. Reduce emission & pollution etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docs can afford car, dun need to stay walking distance to hospital And somemore anytime of the day got eee-orrr-eee-orrr sound Singhealth is expanding the SGH campus and more docs will be working there soon in their grand master plan. Anyway you might be surprised to know that many people can afford car but chose to live within walking distance or 1 mrt stop to where they work, including docs, bankers and so on. I have a doc friend who will never buy a car and his plan is to shift as conveniently as possible to where his clinic is located. Another friend who is in real estate business is making good money but chose to stay at Bain Street where his office is close by and not get a car too. So don't rule out the desirability of people wanting to stay close to where they work even if they can afford car but chose not to. Even those that have car often also like to stay near to where they work (not necessarily walking distance but within a few mrt stops).

Avenue South I believe is couple of streets away and effects of "neg energy" coming from hospital is negligible I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live near SGH and I have friend asking me if I wanna rent out my room to his cousin, a doctor. Reason: rather rent to be near work place. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny island like Singapore, where also not much difference except for those designated as industrial areas. East side near changi airport good meh? Every minute got plane fly up or down. Just imagine the air pollution. Maybe Sentosa air is the best lah. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosaybo 6th Gear September 12, 2019 Share September 12, 2019 Talk about air, I think those near reservoir, forested area best.... Canberra, sembawang, upper thomson, bedok res, upper bukit Timah.... I like but others might not like. As long as not major pollution or really distinct, its not gonna be the main factor. If haze hit, even Orchard road is not spared cos no place is excluded. So I guess other factors like amenities still rank higher in priority. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged September 25, 2019 Share September 25, 2019 It is the PRC market especially for the high ends. Would this trend stop? Personally I think unlikely. What would it take to stop them? Control from China on fund transfer and country selling property imposing restrictions. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
