If brothel are shut. Streetwalker will roam the streets. Clever OKTs will operate illegally from apartment and hotel instead.
Better let them be.

In today's society, do we really need brothels? Look at other countries. Prostitution can still exist without brothels and with low related crime rate.

1 mattress is just S$10-15 per nightOriginally Posted by devilplate
6 mattress to a room. 3 bedrooms.
You do the maths
The links are a good news to those who have the properties around that area. At least now the govt has started to do something, not just say say and then forget about it.Originally Posted by kaizhe
I still think that it wll be much better if red-light area can re-locate to somewhere where there are lesser residential area. Since Geylang is such a centralise area with good food around, it is a shame that family with children are advised not to stay within those Lorongs areas.

Think quite difficult. Because of other non-vice activities, e.g. good food etc, there, people can say they go Geylang for food and not vice. If re-located to an area where there is only vice and nothing else, what excuse can you give when you are spotted there?

My friend, that is D15 and not D14 horOriginally Posted by devilplate
No doubt I have bought a property there, though capital appreciation and rental yield are my initial intention of buying the apartment but I have always hope to stay somewhere around the central. Currently, I'm staying somewhere in the west and there is no MRT. From my working place, I have to take about 45 mins to 1 hour bus journey and another 20 mins walk to my home. Recently, my company wants to purchase a property in Kallang Avenue and there is a likelihood that we might be shifting there which make it worse, there is no bus service to and fro my home. Frankly speaking, I like the apartment with the skypool, so I have been thinking whether should I stay there and rent out my current EC. But the only consideration is the red-light area that draw me back because I still have a daughter. I'm sure that most of the residents there will welcome the move not only for capital appreciation but also to avoid the contact of "those eyes" as much as possible.Originally Posted by devilplate

Anyway, still thanks for your efforts in providing the links. People staying around or near to that area will have more alternatives for shopping.Originally Posted by kaizhe
I think those many older freehold projects in geylang going for 7xxpsf seems more attractive to buy than the new onesOriginally Posted by devilplate
Oh, what a unique name! Such name is given is it because the size of the apartments are small?Originally Posted by devilplate
but our sis irisng may wana move in wif her daughter mah....geylang only suitable for single male lor....Originally Posted by Regulators
remember i told u about my relative....trying to let go their family sized apt(without facilities) in odd lorong 30+ last yr......took a long time to sell and only sell slightly above 600psf.....but if geylang is clean one day, how much u tink it can fetch?
btw, jus realised atrium residence hit 850psf for a 818sqft unit
Though the unit price is low but if the floor area is big, you still have to come out with a substantial amount of money. For those who wish to have their own private ppty but can only afford $500K to $600K, smaller apartment with slightly higher unit price will be within their budget, because if you multiply by the floor area, it is still affordable.Originally Posted by Regulators
If the unit price is $700 psf and the floor area is more than >1k then the final purchase price will not be that cheap for those people who have a budget.
but the psf disparity is too too much liao....Originally Posted by irisng
take 8courtyard for eg....smallest 1bedder of 452sqft ard 950-1kpsf.....and regular sized 2bedder of 861sqft ard 750psf....its about 200psf difference.....
but hor geylang MMs psf disparity is too much to swallow....
Ya lor, I'm prepared for the worst. sighhhh....Originally Posted by devilplate
With so many properties coming out in the Geylang area and their prices are so much more attractive, I also doubt that I can fetch a good price now if I want to sell. Just hope that with the Paya Lebar Hub, some miracles might happen. Oh God, pls help!!
Friend, you had better do your homework properly. Many older geylang freehold projects are going for a song, approx at just $500psf to $600psf at bestOriginally Posted by Regulators

Aiyo, should not sound so desperate when buying properties. Stay positive, as properties is a long term investment. Although I myself would not buy even lorong geylang properties, some gurus have actually came out to say geylang is a developing area. Just think, when atrium was launched, the owners had problems getting bank loans, but not now with the recent launches.
Also, it is unfair to compare psf with 8 courtyards. The comparison was new mm and two bedder within the same development, whereas we are talking about new mm with old condo and even old apartments without facilities in geylang. I was looking at nv and the differential within the same development was about 400 psf. If you talk nv mm and old condo in pasir ris, it can be about 500 psf.
i noticed NV 1bedder selling 11xxpsf and 3bedder 7xxpsf during preview launch....any smart person will grab the bigger units rather den 1bedder....Originally Posted by Fleur
however, in general....mm px disparity shdnt vary by so much.....and its vy dangerous to use the worse example to compare.....bcoz u hf the choice....always sniff out the best deals....
i din use waterfront isle as an example oredi....their 1bedder psf is almost similar to their 2bedder psf.....and our savvy investors in this forum bot the 1bedders
God can only help us this much after given us a brain to think, eyes to see and ears to listen.Originally Posted by irisng
