Please be inclusive.
Sin Ming BTO lor … there is 1 rental-only block + 2 out of the 4 ballot blocks have 2 rental units:Someone did suggested mixed of rentals and BTO in same block. But not sure did they really implemented that before? But current BTO don't have such flats.
They are different.... Don't worry... But most of the time not too far apart.I dun want to pay more to buy but still same block as rentals. Not being discriminating but feel unfair if i get same block as rentals yetpaying more
Rental flat usually ugly design. Normally corridor dun have parapet walls. Only railings. And quality of the people staying there also cmi.
Nothing just interesting people.."Quality of the people staying there also cmi"
what this means?
Now they mixed them. Some projects, 2,3,4, 5 rm mixed together in same blk. Rental beside... Even next to mrt I won't choose.If you have been to rental blocks you will see the difference. The vibe, environment and the people living there is different. Not say I discriminate them but if one spend a fortune to "purchase" a unit, I think is not fair if the unit next door is a rental. Which is TS's concern.
Yes. I saw it in nov 2022 bto yishun flat.Someone did suggested mixed of rentals and BTO in same block. But not sure did they really implemented that before? But current BTO don't have such flats.

Nothing just interesting people..
You see teenagers smoking pushing pram
You see motorcycle riding on walkway to avoid cp gantry.
You see fake handicap smoking on their mod PMA
You see people vape like it is free.
Observation at the coffeeshop while I la kopi with frd.. Interesting..
Maybe the newer rental is better. But if you've been to areas like boon keng, Bedok etc you can straight away tell the differences.My parents living in rental flat. New ones at Bukit Batok. Surroundings clean, corridor clean and clear. People living there also CAN MAKE IT ONE.
People discriminate. I would have my parents live in my 5-room flat. But they prefer to be on their own.
By the way, the idiot staying next to my flat is dirty, smelly, hang laundry on corridor in front of their flat all day long, dirty and messy.
totally agreeI don't see what's the issue with this scheme of mixture of purchased and rental flats families living together.
After all is the govt goal to foster community living, family bondings, neighborhood friendliness, social cohesion. For this I support.
Within same project yes.. Same block... Not keen.I don't see what's the issue with this scheme of mixture of purchased and rental flats families living together.

now govt will try to mix because..Those would be for the elderly, is it mixed with those above 35 singles?
Pay more, live exactly same block. How is it fair?Why keep harping on poor families rental? If one is so atas and well-off, will not buy 2room flat too. Frankly you’re also renting from HDB. Just on a different payment system.

Mixed into same block, or just in the same neighbourhood?Sin Ming BTO lor … there is 1 rental-only block + 2 out of the 4 ballot blocks have 2 rental units:

Beige = rental units.
For new projects how to tell if the block is as such?must check floor plan liao
usually lower floors iirc

Yes. I wont say 100% of rental people are cui, but the chances of cmi are higher than normal HDBs.If you have been to rental blocks you will see the difference.
