🤔"“The amount of funding to improve the lifts in #publichousing is significantly higher than te targeted co-funding which BCA is currently exploring for #private #developments to enhance te safety of their older lifts,” it said"
👆When nearly 78% of #Singapore's #population live in #public #housing, this statement may appear to be superfluous, perhaps even self-serving?🧐

Twenty-five years of the housing struggle - Overland literary journal

The housing struggle is a tug-o’-war between those who profit and those who pay. Over the last quarter century, this battle for the so-called “privilege” of shelter has accelerated and intensified.

再分享一些初春的 #華富邨 的照片,同樣攝於 2024 年 3 月 17 日。這十數年來,自己也斷斷續續的,為這條屋邨拍下了不少照片。

2024 年 3 月 17 日,#華富邨 裡一個有關商場設施的標示牌。

華富邨由建築師廖本懷先生設計,是 #香港 首個採用了市鎮概念設計的公共屋邨,邨內的公共空間不少,社區及商業設施配套亦到位,加上風景優美,令華富邨有「平民豪宅」的美譽。廖本懷先生後來成為首任房屋署署長,於近日以 96 歲高齡與世長辭。

而華富邨亦於 2014 年宣佈開始重建,首批接收原有邨民的新大廈亦快將落成,距離舊有的屋邨全面消失,只是時間的問題。

Labor is demolishing public housing. This is being done without the involvement of residents or academics, rather being coordinated between senior politicians, disconnected bureaucrats, and investors who seek to profit from public land. Victoria’s housing minister Sellout Shing selling all of us out to curry favour with her mates in investment and development.

@harrietshingmlc and @ninataylormp should resign in disgrace over this attempt to privatise public housing.

Big thank you to @savepublichousingcollective , Honk for Housing, and all the RAHU members who showed up and demonstrated against the Labor Party’s privatisation plan. Thank you to @adamantly_human for the photography.
