    Default Should the govt prevent a bubble????

    You decide.

    So are the ABSDs and CMs good or should they be removed. There will be 2 camps... But on a broader perspective and for the overall good, was the implementation for the better????

    You decide after reading

    it good mah, then people like me that does not have the monies wont over commit.

    the usa housing crisis started with any tom, dick and harry with little income applying for loan to speculate

    anyway, now only the strong will be in control so not much danger to garmen to help bail out.

    can only apply bto

    In view of the excessive amount of monies, the controls are good and necessary. It should balance out some of the selling pressure when the next bear market in the property cycle happens.

    Its more than just that

    When property bubble burst
    Many families will be broken up, some go bankrupt and some may take years to repay their debt.

    Property bubble once burst will take a long time to recover

    Those only happen to people who are irresponsible and are the minority.

    In fact, Property bubble burst and subsequently recovery has allowed a new group of people (many in Singapore) to become rich and have more social mobility than to have no bubble and the poor middle income can never get richer and have to slough all their live for income while their money in bank earning peanuts! (Yes, real peanuts! Not the golden peanuts worth $600k(?) each!)
