I find it quite silly for ordinary Singaporeans to take hefty loans to own a condo when they can simply buy a larger hdb flat beside the condo for a million bucks less and enjoy the same neighbourhood amenities. I know that those who see social economic status as a kind of holy grail are probably going to flame me, but I am just being pragmatic. If you buy a condo in Grange Rd, Balmoral area, Marina Bay or Sentosa, I get it that you want to be in the exclusive club away from heartlanders who dwell in hdb flats, but what about those buying condos just next to hdb flats and pay a million bucks more just to have a security guard, some facilities (you can get in a nearby community club or safra) and a parking lot (factored into the maintenance fee)? Do these people think they are in some exclusive club when they are sharing the neighbourhood with thousands of hdb dwellers?
