House Constuction [Merged]

[dr. d]

I wonder if that is a Chinese thing? Sa company where my Dad worked a number of them have assigned houses behind the factory. Behind the extremely tall gate and wall at the back of the factory/compound parang may mini suburb of a a few houses (less than 10). It makes me wonder if companies still gave perks like that. BTW, I took my course because I wanted to be officemates with my Dad pero ayaw niya LOL

i think it is a cultural thing with the chinese.
their houses are close to their places of work.
it saves rental, pamasahe, and time. it also negates the need to hire security.

in binondo, in singapore chinatown, in old hongkong and other chinatowns the world over,
the store is on the ground floor, and the residence is in the upper floor.

i remember an old story from a real estate person.
his current client is a successful businessman, on a buying spree.
all their lives kasi, their definition of home was the second floor of their business address.
