I think all SSR buyers willingly paid for the 80 sf space to use as a private lift lobby, exclusivity does not come for free , right? if one can afford it, who wants to stand at the lift lobby with residents of 7 or 8 other units in awkward silence or act friendly when not in the mood...

as for the lack of public transportation and chinese food, obviously its not just SSR, but also U-Thant, Bangsar and Sri Hartamas areas. the residents in these areas obviously have different needs and budget, and they mostly can afford to buy a car or two. in any case, jalan ipoh, jalan chow kit, jalan bukit bintang are 1 to 3 km away from SSR if one really want fancy char kuey teow once in a while

in a nutshell, every condo with different layout and at different location caters to different people with different needs and budgets, or unless  there is a condo out there  that is one size fit all with universal appeal?
