    Singapore's homes are terrible quality built for people who used to live in gutters. This quality of housing is completely unacceptable to inhabitants of developed western nations. You say London's public housing has a bad reputation but that is RELATIVE to the rest of London. You don't address that at all. You just throw weasel words and fail to present reasons for why London's public housing is inadequate (the reason is our standard is higher). If everyone is poor the poverty doesn't stand out. Homes like Singapore's in the Netherlands are all being torn down because the quality is just not up to our standards. The clips of singapore you show in this video look like supremely depressing urban hellscapes to me. It's not like it hasn't been tried. Look up de bijlmer.
