this is because you are comparing old EA to new EA.

 

New EA and EM. no brainer, its EM all the time.

 

but EM and EA of the same era. dont need to say, EA is bigger.

when HDB decided to shrunk the size, it has effectively shrink the size of family. now they are blaming us for not having enough babies. worst is that now the size published include aircon ledge, planter area, this is really daylight robbery.

I agree to your 1st sentence but not your 2nd.

 

HDB has size with aircon ledge and without on its floor plan. (standard is 3sq m) There is no plantar box or anything similar.

It's all in condos now [rolleyes]

 

U dun want to have AC ledge can .... then have a hole in your wall lor -_-

TBF only the one in Bold are useless.

 

Service Yard was just a section out portion from the last time kitchen where we put our bamboo stick and washing machine. last time is we section ourself, now they do it for us.

 

Balcony, DBSS lah. new flat apart from some 5room the rest dont have, somemore last time all five room also have balcony, plus some ppl like.

 

Bomb shelter also depend, some ppl need store room. some ppl dont need. for me, i dont need. so its a white elephant to me.
