I only know that public protests have no effect when I try to protest development of Pr1ma Alam Damai. Only protests from adjacent land owners of the specific development will be taken into consideration. This post has been edited by kwwong1: Jul 29 2017, 04:39 PM

After reading your explanation, sounds like you are staying around here or having at least a property nearby...

It depends on how developer package their products. The density of Emerald Hills is only 33 units/acre and yet Guocoland is able to make it.

Emerald Hill is a mid high end product therefore can build on low density and there is also landed development in the master plan. The other project is high density becoz is mainly affordable home which mostly sell at 400psf. If they build affordable home at low density , the developer ROI I very low. That's why I ask you to compare same product (apple to apple).

If according to your saying.. 3 acres can only build circa 180 units.. Also, Cheras just like Kepong.. is not really suburban. Why there is no compliance towards the 60 units/acre for the condos if it has veen used for a long period of time??.. This post has been edited by propertyowner: Jun 17 2018, 11:38 PM

That's why I ask you to compare same product (apple to apple). the land cost when u wanna acquire for affordable home also will be way different already... gov will subsidize the land price for you if u wanna build affordable home... if no subsidy.... no one will sell at rm400 psf already... higher density means more volume game for the affordable house developer to play only... sometimes might make more money haha
