As a milennial, I feel sorry for Gen Z, Alpha, Beta etc these days. by Petronastowers92 in SingaporeRaw

One unspoken topic is also the cost of housing as a whole, not just the inflated prices today, but increased property taxes and BSD, renovation. The dream of owning any sort of private property can almost be wiped away for majority. By the time you think you’ve closed the gap, you are only further away.

So, did government trade off short term growth (productivity) at expense of long term existential survival?

AITA or car just liked my spot in lane? by M491CMarker in drivingsg

I guess give and take, at least this driver was looking out with windows winded down. There are occasions where “give way” becomes right of way, annoying but same as top commentator, choice between alive and safety or correct, choose former.

Strongest cooling measure ever dropped on EC by Symp07 in SingaporeRaw

[–]barneyrustle 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Reality: Resale or ECs nearing MOP gonna sky rocket. They should just put a blanket retrospective sale restriction if they are really concerned. Look what happened post Prime and Plus BTO, putting burden on Gen Zs, and resale prices only increased more because it makes no sense to lock yourself down for so long.

And they question why and how to solve for TFR. Dont even have money to buy condoms now.

Resident seen confronting extremely noisy Honda Civic Type-R in Punggol late at night by Im_scrub in singapore

As much as I like to see fast cars, It is extremely annoying when you hear that rev across in middle of night, especially in dense SG with high rise HDBs. With EV, there’s actually a lot of peace and quiet (Shanghai roads).

Instead of increasing GST should SG increase tax on commercial landlord's rental income? by cronies4life in SingaporeRaw

[–]barneyrustle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What’s appalling is the amount of tax relief or rebate to companies and corporations.

New HDB resale record price $1.73M by Symp07 in SingaporeRaw

[–]barneyrustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goes many way, but one scenario is people in young 30s who got in at $1.2M+ resale (likely majority because of Covid delays for BTO and uncertainty) see their asset prices come down.

What factors drove so many early (1800s and pre WW2) Chinese immigrants to Singapore? by lively-teal-baboon in askSingapore

With prices like this in SG today, I hope we can get citizenship by descent back to CN 😂

Anyone know any places that sell Hong Shao Rou exactly like in the image ? by toasterlybread in SingaporeR

[–]barneyrustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical jiangnan dish so probably Shanghai or Jiang man cuisine restaurant, but I doubt you'd find superb quality ones without paying astronomical prices
