Living in a condo

[_Cathy_]

Doc,

Check out Hope Residences in Cavite. We were in the mall one time there buying something and needed to kill time so we thought, let's see how SMDC units look like. Lo and behold they showed us their bare studio. 28.5sqm. My initial thought was that's just the size of 2 parking slots. Next was the 1 br. Also 28.5sqm. So I guess they just placed a "wall" so the studio can be a 1 br. Last is a 2 br unit. Guess what? It's still 28.5sqm. All the units are 28.5sqm. It's up to you if you want it as a studio, 1 or 2 bedrooms but they're still 28.5sqm. So that 40sqm that you feel should be a studio because it's sumisikip, well, SMDC units will shock you.

This should be illegal -13 sq m. Sino kaya developer nito? Sa tabi ng kama lababo

Yup. Lokohan talaga. Pero doing it that way, they made me recall their name so mahusay ang strategy. Nakwento ko tuloy to others so nagkaroon ng free advert sila.

yes, it's small.
obviously, a budget design.
is there enough walk space around the bed?
i gather, walang pogo ang nakatira diyan...?
heh heh.

we were fortunate.
some years ago,
condo units in our area were bigger.

Yun nga doc hindi dapat pinapayagan mga condo na parang inhumane na sa liit. But then again, iba iba nga naman threshold ng tao. Sakin basta may bintana na malaki at view tolerable pa hehe

naalala ko noon yung unit ng anak ko sa cityland...
halos maiyak ako sa awa nung unang makita ko, super kitid sya na condo unit. dapat talaga hindi payagan yung mga ganung design dahil pag emergency ay mahihirapan ang mga responder.

sabi ko kay misis na maghanap agad ng mas modest naman. nakakita kami ng 57sqm dmci condo sa taguig na di hamak na liveable sya.

For comparison, cage housing in Hong Kong:





Approximately 13k rent per month for a space like that.

My wife and I used to live in a condo in Legaspi Village years ago. The studio unit only had 31sqm of space. Oks naman kami doon. Our living room area is also our dining area.

Cage housing is illegal they're just being tolerated by their govt since they can't provide mass housing for everybody.


Parang mga squatters natin din mga tao nakatira diyan. Mga meron menial jobs just to get by.

Ang nagpataas ng prices sa HK yung mga mainlander. Yung ibang local nadisplace na, sa NT area na nakatira.

Pero matagal talaga antayan for mass housing ewen ko kung ilan taon ang pila. Ang alam ko at least 10 years ka nakapila eh Kaya no choice sila but to live in cage housing. Pero mahihirap din naman talaga yun mga nakatira diyan. Isang kahig isang tuka din mga renters niyang.

Kahit anong yaman talaga ng lugar may mga naiiwan pa din. Parang mas malaki lang yung income inequality sa mga developed areas like HK.

Mas maganda kaya mass housing sa SG?

[EQAddict]

SG is far better for mass housing.
