Why do Singaporeans love mature estates

Why do Singaporeans choose mature estates to live over new towns? The answer is simple but some policy makers still do not get it.

We want to be close to the city where most of our offices are!

I thought one simple solution to this complex problem would be to decentralise the the city centre and have satellite CBDs in other regional centres like Punggol, Changi. Then people whose offices are near there are likely to move there. We have done it for Tampinese, but few years ago the government suddenly decided to recentralise the CBD again.

Now they are starting to decentralise again to Paya Lebar and Jurong. Well I can only hope they stop changing their minds!
