Young people with energy can still live in 2-3 storeys houses and drive but the aged people prefers to stay in smaller, single storey apartment and near MRT stn (cannot drive anymore!). Taxi will be really expensive like those in Japan and Europe. Do ponder on this matter. It will be a reality! Getting a place in the central region, near MRT, CBD, market and food centre becomes really important. In a land-scare Singapore, similar to Hong Kong, property will only go upwards in the long run even though there are some fluctuations at the micro level.
