If Singapore is so great, then why so many Singaporeans are thinking of migrating???It's still not too late, work hard, save up and move on to other better...

dun be fooled

these areas BTO flat prices are so ex

30 yrs of your life slave for housing loan

of course their income is there la. They can just stay there for 3-5 yrs and the property prices will rise 2X. why not? Can sell and buy a flat in Jurong then still got money in the pocket.

Yah lah, he don't understand that it is also quite easy to travel from Queenstown and Redhill, cos technically speaking, they are under Central Singapore.

sure or not?

$8k is the HDB ceiling limit. I'll tell u, property price rise is nonsense. Sorry for being crude

Back in 1980s, $70k is also 1 flat, now $270k is still 1 flat. end up only PAP Govt gain from property tax. open your eyes

higher property price = cost of living also goes up

chickenlittle2 SG

Honestly speaking, anyone with the right frame of mind would not stay in Jurong unless they work there or grew up from there, or their parents stay there. Who would want to stay so far away from the CBD and the Airport?

Of course, raising property prices that means ur house value go up and more facilitates. 2 Eway to airport and CBD then no major jam and ERP. why not?

Why not you try buying one and tell me whether you can finance it? If people living in outer areas have problems financing a flat, then what about these flats. Look at things as a whole.

read up more, maybe you know better when you start to buy house. Now buying flats are not as easy as the past. It is not always 1+1 =2. You need to think of many factors. We are getting out of topic here =)

sbst275 SG

I'm not going to carry on

But a flat over your roof is still simply a flat over your roof

From Jurong go city also need to pay ERP leh

Why would people stay in a place 40km by road away from the Airport when other towns are the most 20 km from the airport. Somemore, staying the Central and East means 3 expressways are easily avaliable to the Airport.

Many of my friends and families bought houses. That's why ur income must be there. No money yet? I think stay wit ur parents is the best choice.

Scania SG

If you really want to count premium housing, which is condos and private housing, I dare say there are more of such housing in the Central and Eastern part of Singapore than the Far West, probably Bukit Timah is the furthest most people would want to go, not Jurong, even though there are a few small such estates there.

chickenlittle2 SG

From Jurong go city also need to pay ERP leh

Of course is nearer la, but I dun really go airport that often. Sometimes taking train even faster.

i dun need to pay 2 times ma.. or pay liao then still got to jam. (CTE)

Hello, if you stay in the central, eastern or northern part of Singapore, you would have inherited the skill of escaping ERPs, and I dare say CTE northbound is smooth flowing right now during evening peak. Then again traffic jam is an indicator of how popular regions are.

sbst275 SG

natural

it goes with where is more developed

Scania SG

Of course is nearer la, but I dun really go airport that often. Sometimes taking train even faster.

Lets say Toa Payoh or AMK, the furthest places from the Airport in the eastern half, it takes just 20+ mins to the Airport, taking a train would enable people in Jurong to reach probably Queenstown or Redhill only.

sbst275 SG

now it's Upp S'goon Rd tat area is congested. Not to say Jln Toa Payoh

PIE's evening peak jams terrible, from Bt Timah all e way to KPE. I think SBS might look at diverting 74e and 151e away

chickenlittle2 SG

so how many ppl in Singapore can afford the condos and private housing in Singapore with the least subsidy? New Condos are up everywhere in the west. from centris to Keppel bay? Jurong is more or less filled up but the new facilitates interest many new residents.

sbst275 SG

let me tell u e reality.

the majority are ppl who hit e $8k HDB limit and they can't even really afford condo. Neither I believe there's subisdy. MBT say got to calculate cost of land.

Hello, land cost? so you want ppl to live on e streets or void decks?

chickenlittle2 SG

Of course is faster but I dun need to wait for another train and make 2 transfers.

Scania SG

Please take out your street directory, tell me what is along the big pieces of land above ECP and below Changi Rd/New Upp Changi Rd and Upp Changi Rd East, only the small patch of land known as Marine Parade is HDB. And I'm just bringing out the condo thing cos you brought up the high cost HDB flats, since you are so willing to discuss on high cost living.

Scania SG

Of course is faster but I dun need to wait for another train and make 2 transfers.

How many people take the MRT to catch a flight? As a frequent traveller on the Changi Airport extension, I would say no, most people who do so are backpackers and foreign workers and people who stay in the East.
