Did you play a part in influencing HDB's recent decision on new housing balloting scheme?
(1), (2) - size vs costs is a tough one, it is unlikely to find a big unit selling at your "right" price.
(3) can't blame hdb. Their mission is to house a targeted 6.5 million people in a tiny 682.7 sq km.
(4) if property investment is your priority, hdb is not a good investment vehicle.
(5) is it really that bad? Try living overseas in certain cities, you will feel the difference.
Nothing is perfect...
With all the misfortunes and sad events happening around the world, perhaps we should feel gratitude for things like a roof over our heads... just my 2 cents.
Wow! All Bedok 3/4/5 rooms flats have been selected!
Now, all actions and heads are turning to Queenstown.
Good luck to those selecting units there!
May the force be with you.
Hello raayn,

Bedok Mall (tentative name, maybe they will call it "Bedok Point" next time since it is under Frasers group - owns Centrepoint, Anchor point, Compass Point, North Point etc)
Hi seraphinee, I kiasu ma. Actually I always plan for long term lah, so I checked out what is going to happen before I apply for ballot. Initially tot of going for Queenstown, but too far away from my relatives who are mainly staying in the east side. So I checked out if Bedok is good to go for after all, the number of applicants are less than the other estates. High chances mah! It is our first try and my wife and I are very lucky to get it!
Here's some info on the facilities:

Hello neighbors!.
I am new here. Got unit @219C on 8 May 2008
Good to know Linear Green will have a Bedok Mall in the former Bedok/Changi cinemas site in 2010-2011
Then the Bedok transportation hub by 2018.
Phew, hope these facilities will increase the value for our flats since we are going to pay so much for it.
