$2,900 as the average home price by 2030? Pffft. Ridiculous. That was what everyone was certainly thinking back in 2018, when this report by DBS was in the news.

I get a lot of weird looks when I say I LIKE old, slightly run-down strata-titled malls. The presence of these old malls explains some of my favourite places.

If you’ve read a few articles in this landed estate walkabout tour series, you’ll have noticed that I am a big fan of terrace houses which have detached or semi-detached neighbours.
