The most pragmatic way to solve HDB affordability issue to do reduce size and lease.

[Orionz]

Lease reduce from 99 to 65 years

Suggest make 3room hdb with 550sq ft
4room hdb with 800sq ft
Anyway pawrents no need much space for child dogs/cats

size depend how many children Lor.

you don’t need a 5 room so big to have sex anyway. A carpark size can le.

Just quickly build RTS and let Singaporeans rent in JB ba. Ask JB officials to build more apartments, etc.

IMHO.
Maybe bring back the RFS scheme. No children, buy 3-room only.

 

[Lss]

No please dont. Small space less Singaporean children.

We should buck the trend and ask HDB to start building bigger again like the old EA. This will encourage more to have larger families.

if not wrong, smaller than ours.
think size is not the issue here. it's the demand coming from where & who keep chasing it up.
thought nowadays low TFR

Then they need to import more people to fill the gap. Means chances of tio pok is higher...

It's the domino effect from resale

 

[cosmothecat]

Most pragmatic way is to launch a different class of public flats that cannot resell on open market, must return back to HDB

 

[zwHrebmeM]

What about reducing the land cost that SLA (aka SG govt) "sells"/lease to HDB?

IMHO.
PR cannot buy new HDB. Smaller flats, cannot rent out. So PR end up paying more?

Actually no need. Just need to up resale levy and make it payable regardless.

Maybe resale levy = selling price - buying price - duties payable.

might as well build pods for Jo Teo's sex protocol.

Convert to multi-generational loan can also improve affordability
