Its people like me (taxpayer) who are not allowed to buy hdbs that pay the true price of all this losses lah.

Those who can buy and got grants to buy, benefit big big

Sshhh... the pain we feel, neither you nor I not @Vratenza can speak too openly of, except maybe on this forum. 😁

At the least, it recovers the costs for building flats: Land acquisition, clearing, water & sewage pipe network, electricity grid, staff and project & contract management, admin, actual construction

But in HDB definition cost = opportunity cost i.e. what it could earn if it sold to private developer for housing FTs

HDB bought the land at $500m from SLA.

But HDB can sell at $50/sq ft.

"We understand the concerns about housing affordability, and have therefore been carefully monitoring the housing market," said Mr Lee, as he stressed that the Government is committed to keeping public housing affordable and accessible. 

🤣🤣🤣

Don’t the word ‘monitoring’ sounds familiar?

So is it SLA driving land price up? Or private market? Who is the bad guy we should whack if its not HDB who is driving all these land prices thru the roof

I mean last time when flats sell for $200k HDB also make so much loss ah?

$500m is market price of the land.

On Govt consolidated FS, there is gain on sales of HDB.

Monitoring meant 

隔岸观火 : watching the fire from opposite bank....😅

Taking a watch and see attitude towards someone misfortune.

Actually monitoring is a level higher than watching.

Watching is only for self consumption.

Monitoring is self consumption+ documenting it.

My friend bought a magic rock from his daddy for $1M. He want to sell the rock to me for $500K. He claim he don't mind losing $500K because I'm his BFF.

Should I buy the magic rock?

Your example got problem la.

Grandfather sell Flat to father at $500k.

Father sell to son at $250k.

Even though Father looks like lost $250k, there is a gain of $500k.

Of course.

His Dad must be a Master Illusionist

Then he is half his Dad skillset.

If you continue to support your friend, he will eventually attain his Dad level.

Then you get to keep the rock and boast that it's pass on from 2 master illusionists.


Then sell for 4 million.🤣

 

 

Disclaimer: .......

Caveat:.......

Plenty are holding to their rock waiting to sell at 4m too.
