Many people are complaining the sizes of HDB flats are
shrinking. Indeed this is very true. HDB CEO Cheong said that
smaller flats do not have to mean a lower quality of living because
the living space per person has actually increased over time due to
smaller family. Mr TCH said that while flats are getting smaller,
the quality of living is not being compromised. Both admit flats
are getting smaller and tried to jusify the smaller
flats.
If both said were true, by same token do you agree that
the living quality of population has fallen as number of FT and FW
increases because the size of Singapore is relatively fixed?
If ever the size of HDB flats becomes a shoebox, they will still
say the living quality has not decreased. Give us a
break!
Remember when HDB prices rocketed they still said it is
affordable. All the times, trying to justify their action. Now Mr
IS admitted that housing and economic growth were
mishandled.
If the cost had been kept low we would not end up
living in a small flat like now. We can still have the size of
flats like those in the 70s by making the block taller and keeping
the land cost the same
