This is less of a dunk on the poors and more of a "just don't like 'em :marseysneed: " scenario

Indian dudes love public housing for some reason. Its not even cheaper here but every building is like 90% full of them. I assume one just figured out the application process and then it got passed around and none of them have the patience to do anything else

oh no it's pretty strict here when it comes to public housing and you definitely need at least a citizen + a permanent resident to purchase one, the :marseytunaktunak: in that video was staying in an expensive private condominium lol so the smugness made the locals extra mad

Wtf is HDB? Highly Developed Bussy?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The HDB (Housing & Development Board) provides public housing. It’s well run and not at all like public housing here in America.

@TracingWoodgrains discusses how HDB, among other programs, made Singapore prosperous in his great review of Lee Kaun Yew’s (father of the nation and benevolent dictator) autobiography.

You should definitely check out the link.

oh yah i always forget public housing's like slum nonsense over there while it's something people aim for over here lol

Jump in the discussion.

this uh

her quote is particularly funny because Lee Kuan Yew was adamant about the need for people to have a stake in their society, and they designed their public housing in large part with that goal in mind. Not to say things always live up to their design, but her critique of public housing in singapore lands much worse than it would really anywhere else

glad you enjoyed the poast :tracelove:

public housing (pods) that 80% of us live in :marseysob:

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

But the reality is the vast majority of families live in modestly-sized apartments built by the government—concentrated, high-rise housing estates that elsewhere in the world might, to some, conjure images of low-income urban blight. Yet here, the concrete suburbs are well-maintained by the state and their basic, functional flats are lovingly renovated by the owners, often with the help of professional interior designers using the finest materials.

So the people living in public housing actually take care of their units and don't treat them like garbage and piss in the elevators, and the local gov also maintains them? What a novel concept

lol they repealed the anal s*x ban while at the same time further enshrining in the constitution that marriage is between a man and a woman, and when you consider how the anal s*x law nonsense hadn't been enforced in forever you'll realise that it was an extremely pyrrhic victory for the gays. like if you take politics aside it's a brilliant and sneaky move on their part
