I complain endlessly about some of our social policies, but even I admit our housing governance is amazing by the standards of any first-world city. Though COVID has recently screwed up the construction schedule and prices are skyrocketing.

Yeah I think we got one of the best housing policies in the world. Healthcare wise, I’m a bit torn. It can still get expensive.

We’d probably do better if we were lesser on the “Asian values” moralising though. Like how alcohol sales are banned after 10pm, etc.
