QUOTE(??!! @ Feb 3 2009, 12:48 AM) Our Govt like to think that developers can make $$ from LC. Some developers have even offered to state govt.."I give u the land free lah, u go and built and take the money as well"..that's how bad the situation is for some developers. If we want to discuss about low cost housing in m'sia, tak boleh habis bincang. Rehda has been in discussion with authorities for ages but no concrete results. For political reasons, the govt will want to maintain status quo Yes, the low cost housing policy is a thorn in the side of developers. But I've heard there are ways to get around it. Don't see any low cost housing in Bandar Utama right? Nor in Mutiara Damansara unless I'm mistaken. |

QUOTE(imin @ Feb 3 2009, 09:41 AM) hohoho.. thank you all for joining this discussion... btw I didn't disappear, I thought this topic was dead since only 3 people replied after a few days I posted it.. it seems now i have to go out to see how can I make more money so can I have a bigger house.. hoho anyway I just downloaded the ebook 'Build Your Own House' from www.byoh.com .. perhaps my last resort to save money is by start building my own house... It will be very unique that's for sure, it's time we stopped living in cement prisons eh ? we have nice weather, but we stay in houses that are more easily heated than cooled  |

@jchong, BU got away without low-cost housing but I don't think developers are able to do that anymore. Even the Valencia township has low-cost houses - it's just not marketed as part of the development but it's there if U know where to find it  |

@wodenus,
No, BU doesn't have low cost houses - it was a topic which was discussed at lengths previously [perhaps not on this forum but amongst developers akin]

Even the Valencia township has low-cost houses - it's just not marketed as part of the development but it's there if U know where to find it I heard that BU got away with it by allocating more school reserves (that's why there are so many schools in BU). Another tactic I've heard is the developer buys a cheaper land elsewhere and use that as their low cost reserve. So whenever they are asked to provide low cost housing, instead of allocating it in their present land they will negotiate for it to be put in their low cost reserve. |

@jchong, Ah well.. in this country, nothing's impossible However, I think it's difficult for developers to get such approvals from now |
