Totally agree. Look at Gaya Bangsar. So many empty units for 2 yrs now. Right next door to MRT but with sky high prices, those who seek public transport cannot afford such property (even rent). Those who can afford to rent/buy, dont need to use the LRT/MRT.
I believe only mid-end products works well with MRT nearby.
I agree with you... Properties located nearby LRT or MRT must be within affordable range.. For people who dont have a car to commute around... Their budget is anything less than RM3k ( And most of them prefer anything with 2 to 3 bedrooms)I believe only mid-end products works well with MRT nearby.
We are talking about lower budget expats...
Because ppl who can afford a car or a luxury rental does not necessary requires public transport to commute around.. They's rather stay far away, and a better quality condo...
They either have a driver or they own a car...Big companies sure give allowance for that..
And besides Malaysian Public Transport a'int that efficient also...
For example.. Look at Mont Kiara..
No LRT, high ticket items... better quality lifestyle also..
WHo wants to stay near Gaya Bangsar.. Congested area.. and Expensive at the same time..
Just my 3 cents
