x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The only way to " bring down" the HDB price is  thru new system - renting which could serve as    cooling measures. Once people start to rent directly from HDB at affordabe rate for sometime, they will have enough saving to buy pte pty, have babies, and perhaps, they might want to own hdb flats. The resale flats price will dip to a more sensible selling price concurrently.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Even if HDB does test out renting, there will be a similar situation of rising rentals due to demand supply issue. And at what rental rates will HDB rent the units? 4 room flat at $3K monthly? 5 room at 4K? Won't it still be profiteering becoz demand is there. It is not as simple as saying, hey.. okie, let's just rent instead of sell and the whole situation is solved. You will still have your influx of foreigners vying with Singaporeans for HDB units. niuyear      ( Date: 12-May-2011 09:47) Posted: I am very much  waiting  " if "     there is  change to HDB rules..........
