I think you just made an inaccurate assumption that I will be affected.
Errr...Why would I be affected?
I am just speculating how the hdb upgraders in these areas will react. And from your reply, you just validated that people's natural knee jerk reaction will be.
Of course they will be upset. And then goes back to my original question, do you think they will be happy with the government?
Or they will think like you...my fault for holding out? Or WTH did the government choose to build n build n build AND build in these 3 areas and nowhere else?!
And from coming me...I wonder if the government factored all these -ve consequences in...coz the end of the day..it is the heartlanders who are affected...paying more and suffer more.
Not the rich (like you???) or the damn filthy rich.
Coz I am sure they will think rich people speculated until the prices goes up and up...and end of the day they suffered the most.
And I would like to stress that most hdb upgraders are uncles, aunties, who dont surf forums like this, nor are they equipped with the knowledge of the property cycle. Perhaps all they know is that people kept saying price willl drop but didn't for the last few years..I am sure they save very loooong time before deciding to upgrade.
