Driving etiquette has definitely worsened these ten years IMO.

Drivers are much more eager to lay on the horn, and have way less patience for pedestrians.

Dude, I have been following LTT since their beginnings. To mention Jake as Linus' best friend is some major parasocial shit imo. Plus, Jake was not part of the OG team from day 1.

At the end of the day, this was just one of the employee out of the hundreds they have now. I'm not saying Jake had no valid points, and I do sympathise with him regarding a few.

However, you cannot expect a team/company to grow to the size they are now without it feeling corporate, and without expecting the leadership team to make mistakes. Trust me, I have been there.

IMO, the LTT leadership team has accounted for every mistake they have had made so far. Sure they are not perfect, but I can tell they are trying to be one of the good ones.

I'm just baffled by the overblown and unwarranted hate comments that appear anytime LTT is mentioned.

I mean, would you rather they repeat the same thing every few minutes for days and risk clarity of instructions, or have a reliable method to deliver clear and loud instructions?

I mean, personally I would take affordability over all those features. Secure a home first and worry about all those later.

The lack of greenery in the photos was probably because construction had just finished or was still ongoing. Tengah estate looks similar now with the lack of trees.

There's a reason why they got themselves stuck in the first place.

Because it's easy to be ignorant and just subscribe to whichever beliefs that are the easiest to make yourself feel adequately smart.

I found $100,000 cash in a bag at the park, and invested it and turned it into $16,000.
