Daft, Dafter, Dafterest!!!!
simple reason is that daft sinkies all say location location location.Originally Posted by westman
no brainer.. put all condo next to mrt line, sure sell.
Hmmm...Originally Posted by Shanhz
I have this thought...
MRT by right should be easily access to low income or those who can not afford for car. Those who can affors condo generally have cars...
However, empty lands near mrt often goes to condo and less hdb...
-have car, mrt also no use.
-for those hdb dwellers, pay more $$$ for feeder bus services...
Daft, Dafter, Dafterest!!!!
there is a big discussion about car park space at the ATT thread. the logic is once you stay next to MRT, you give up your car.Originally Posted by westman
but i agree with you. logically condo shld be further away from mrt. just like bkt timah pple may not like mrt coming to them, because they are downgraded from exclusivity to masses.

Agreed with your logic too but per my understanding, gls money goes back to national reserve and hence will not be avail for government to use to fund for the less privileged. ...Originally Posted by lifeline
My concern here is: polarity in wealth distribution between clusters...
Daft, Dafter, Dafterest!!!!
understand your concern. however with hdb prices increasing, ec going even higher, i am not as concerned about this polarity compared to the widening gap between the top and bottom 10%. hope much more will be done to direct assistance there.Originally Posted by westman
They expect 1.8mil commuters per month. That mean equally divided each day is about 60000 ppl. and again divide by the 12 hrs, each hr got to handle 5000ppl
Don't think the East West line alone can handle. Now already very pack at JE MRT especially during peak hour. Maybe some other lines have to be added...

Called Supply Chain City, the facility will be a warehouse, in addition to housing YCH's headquarters, research activities, a training academy and lifestyle amenities for its employees and customers.
It will provide about 1.5 million square feet of warehousing space and half a million square feet of office space, paving the way for YCH's customers to integrate their front and back-end operations to maximise efficiency, said YCH chairman and chief executive Robert Yap.
Although, at 6.5 hectares in size, Supply Chain City will be smaller than YCH's 7.8 ha premises in Tuas, it will have 2 1/2 times the capacity of the Tuas facility.

there is someting about the yuan ching and ho ching and whatever ching area.. it seems quite "dead".Originally Posted by westman
This is probably the biggest hype of the cycle
Ride at your own risk !!!
It used to be a very busy and nice place many years ago when I played and cycled in that area... I remember Yaohan was there. My guess is many families moved out when the children grew up and the area become rental flats for lots of foreign blue collar workers and the value goes down ever since.Originally Posted by Shanhz
