"Along with Vienna, Singapore is often mentioned as a place that has
“solved” the affordable housing problem that plagues many cities around
the world. 80 percent of Singaporeans live as owner-occupiers in housing
built by the government. 80 percent! And 90 percent of Singaporeans own
their own homes. (More on what “homeownership” means in the Singaporean
context in a moment.) Not only that, there is little segregation between
the three principal ethnicities that live in the island city-state. And,
given the availability of low-cost housing, there is less homelessness
in Singapore than in many comparable cities …something that actually
saves the city a lot of money."
