yes and no, i think. people relocate to where they can find economic opportunity. outskirt of LA has hollywood, santamonica beach and beverly hills. inner city of LA has some of the baddest gangsta rappers especially in area near compton.

i think as long as traffics still long, car prices high, petrol prices and toll rates going up, and parking fees naik, city centers will be of value.

KLCC and Bukit Bintang area are driven by 2 major industries. oil and gas, and finance.

some ppl always asked why less expats these days, i think its probably, locals are taking over the jobs, these high paying jobs such as investment banking, drilling engineers, expert geologists, offshore specialists which companies around klcc hire by the thousands. they make 30-40k a month for 10 years experience. not to mention the services companies built around the industry.

the risk is when oil and gas reserves run out in 20 years. or another asian financial crisis.

try one menerung. some of the higher profile pensioners live there after their kids left their damansara height homes. empty nest.

and better healthcare facilities from different price range. IJN, prince court, pantai and HKL are nearby.

if you nak duduk sangat sebelah klcc or want some assets in the klcc vicinity, consider the older condos. 10year-old condo well maintained mcm the forum, corinthian, dmayang. these are at 700+psf. sometimes can find 600+ psf if the buildup is larger. boleh jalan pegi lrt ampang park or klcc.

can do airbnb laa.. klcc banyak condo kosong next to lrt. owner take the risk, they manage the ins and outs.
