HDB launches 2 new BTO projects in Choa Chu Kang, Punggol

Hurray!
The govt has decided to build more 3/4 room flats to cater to the needs of our new generation.
Over the years, the govt has ascertain that big houses are no longer the way to go and many prefer to have small cosy home. This is often seen as a benefit to the new generation because after all the hardwork they put in throughout the day, the last thing they want is to come home and still have to find time to pack/clean their large house.
In addition, smaller houses are cheaper to maintain too.....
OR ARE THEY?!
While many of us prefer to have smaller home.. this phenomenon has already been 'forced' upon us about 15 years ago.
Despite ballooning home prices, the govt has built smaller and smaller and smaller flats over the years..
Nevermind that you brought a 5Room flat in Punggol 5 years ago. Its floor area is definately not much bigger than a 4room flat in the late 80s and early 90s.
Do you know where we are heading?
For the record.. my ex 3 room flat was about 90 sq m. =)
