The Housing and Development Board (HDB) has been the legislative board for public housing and is credited for giving Singaporeans a low-cost yet efficient residential option. Since independence, the HDB has been pro-active in clearing away slums from the face of Singapore and replacing these temporary inferior residential solutions with low-cost and effective housing units. As a result, HDB flats have been very popular, especially in these times of high priced properties and real estate housing options.
