A lot of people haven't even stepped off their front porch talking about a country that's solved an enormous and bunch of other problems.

Excellent intentions OP but these cats don't have the scope to talk about this.

I have stayed in Singapore for an extensive amount of time!

Nice thread + repped!
Singapore seems dope.
It's entire story and Lee Kuan Yew fascinates me.

I've always wanted to visit. Probably the only Asian country aside from maybe Hong Kong with a degree of English competency.
Glad you were able to go.

The government helps create housing crisis when it allows hard drugs to ruin people's lives while providing poor outreach to communities on their way into the gutter.

Solving the housing issue would be the equivalent of hiding the mess In your room in the closet and saying the room is clean.. if you keep making mess eventually the closet won't be enough to hide it.

These types of policies work the best in societies that aren't multicultural, racist and greedy.

The white man ain't giving out no hugs.

Singapore is a very multiracial, and possibly multicultural as well.

In fact, I believe that it is government policy that your neighbors have to be multi-ethnic.

Streets need that Singapore AMA

By the metrics this seems like the G.O.A.T. country in the world right now

You have to understand, a lot of nikkas, especially on thecoli, grew up with their mother abusing them. Their momma beat them for everything. They break a plate their momma beat them, they come home late from school their momma beat them, didn't clean up they momma told them they ain't shyt like their daddy and beat them.

So when you bring them information, the only reaction they know is hate and closed minds. They lack the emotional intelligence to make it to stage 2. Like when a black man gets a good job, buys a nice car, maybe some clothes and jewellery, the first thing that comes in some nikkas mind is "fukk this nikka." or "How can I rob/setup this nikka?".

That's why I bring info here and these nikkas reject it, even though they probably work 12hr shifts at Amazon, breaking their back just to pay rent they can barely afford. nikkas will swear they are winning over the average person in Singapore.

It's Comical.

There's only 6 million people in Singapore.​

America's population is 60 times that amount and isn't just an island.

This thread, while informative, is disingenuous.​
Americas economy is 60 times and has a lower population density. But yeah.....

Ok TLR contrarians. In case you haven't noticed, the US has a housing crisis. There aren't enough units for everyone, and it's very expensive. Singapore had this problem 50 years ago, and they solved it. Take notes. They created public housing and 90 percent of their country are homeowners. You're a renter (or a coli landlord). Their poor people have small kitchens. Our poor people live on the street.
nikkas talking sideways about a 99-year lease while probably a month away from getting evicted by their landlord. :wow:

America's land mass is also around 14000x that of Singapore. They have more people per square mile of total land and therefore less land per person to work with, yet still got shyt done

Much easier to work with less people and, since they're pretty-much all in the same area, communication/cooperation is better and focused on a common goal. Money can't buy that.

It ain't no mystery.​

This is what happens when you have a government that cares about it's people.



I mean, you also can't talk about any of the units fallin into disrepair or hold landlords accountable because there's no freedom of press. Its for damn sure better than America, but there's other societal trade-offs.
