Housing is one of the major problem in the world.
It can be in developed countries or under developed countries. Like Taiwan though facing the dwindling of population, the housing problem is still staring at the new president in 2024.
Taiwan is going to have similar act like Canada, empty home tax or empty house tax,
Though in Singapore, the housing is still under controlled by the government, but they still do not dare to pass the housing act that one citizen can only own a house regardless of size. Thus there are lots of empty houses.
Do you think the build to order system will be a good idea or passing the housing act on one citizen can only own a house and empty home tax is much better ?
Build-to-Order (BTO) flats in Singapore will be reclassified as “Standard”, “Plus” and “Prime” flats, from the second half of 2023. This would replace the existing “mature” and “non-mature” labels. What does this mean to you? And how far can it make our flats more affordable?
