For Yishun, obviously a bit longer, but not as bad. All of Singapore is easily accessible, and will be even more accessible when the new circle line is up - another project to make life easier.
Frosty Boy, the point about how far I drive being eequivalent is that I live in a suburb. Again, what protion of Singapores work force comes from within the city limits, and where do that portion that doesn't come from?
It seems you are trying to tell us Singapore is a arcology.

Americans just don't like living in cities. Why live in the cramped city when you could live in the suburbs?
I don't know. Out west the last 15 years has seen a boom of urban renewal and people moving back into the downtown areas. Mostly young professionals without kids or gay couples but still San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and even LA to some extent have seen big time growth and building in their downtown areas.

The new train lines that have been built are much better. As things wear down, they get replaced.
As far as taxi's go... many are owned by individuals and a few cab companies. None are owned by the city. I've been in new cabs and old cabs. And even the old cabs truly aren't that old... they just have taken a beating with all the miles they have gone.
The City is constantly upgrading the things that are the most desperate for repair. But you seem to think that money grows on trees... It doesn't, it comes out of the tax payers pockets. No major city in America has "tons of money to spare"
good point. And as to the OP assertion that constantly upgrading creates jobs and stimulates the economy, lower taxes achieves the same thing even more efficiently.

And it is in a way, thanks to its small size. In fact, I have often thought that Singapore should be the birthplace for a world first arcology at a major scale.
Your question is difficult for me to answer, Singaporeans are well spread out throughout the land. I would estimate that only about 1-2% of Singaporeans workforce live in the main area of the city. Which goes to show you that most people live outside that area, travel time into the city is not a problem.

The east coast is seeing the same. It is a cycle really. I just moved into an area that was the upper class downtown neighborhood in the 1920s, became the ghetto and held the title of murder capital of the United States in the 1970s/80s, and is now half way through gentrification.

I can't tell if you are not answering the question because it would make you look silly, or you generally have a mental block from state education enforced by caning.

Care to elaborate on the taxes? I stated before that Singapore's taxes are not that high, about 12 or 13%.
Singapore does also tax you when you enter the main part of the city via car, but that is understandable, the idea was to discourage people driving there, to lower congestion - and it worked quite well.
You live there right? You used to have their flag displayed.
In any case, the picture of the slum I posted is by its very proximity to Singapore a suburb of it. NYCs suburbs encompass vast portions of NY, CT, and all of Long Island to give you a reference.

The rich people all got uppity and moved to the suburbs, and spend their money on making the suburbs all pretty and ****.
The city therefore has to make do with what it can. And it's doing well with what it can. The city, which was built and developed before Singapore built and developed itself, is rehabilitating whole swaths of urban areas using new methods after the urban renewal plans of the 60s and 70s failed; these are often done in partnership with private companies, rather than a government-run operation, which is leading, at least in the near-term, to far more successful outcomes.
Additionally, there are major plans for adding additional green spaces and cleaning up the environment around the city; the Chicago River-front property is no longer the liability it once was, as the Deep Tunnel is coming on-line bit by bit, allowing runoff to be processed much better than it has in the past; the lakefront is getting new seawalls.
The perennially underfunded CTA is improving some of its lines, as well; several stations are getting major overhauls, some of them having to be renovated while still remaning operational. Old tracks are being replaced, and the like.
There's another major difference between Singapore and Chicago, as well as older developed nations, and newer developed nations--part of the reason why Singapore finds it much easier to build/renovate stations is that there's less "legacy" to maintain; it's entirely plausible that if Chicago (and the State and Federal governments desired it) had a pressing need for an entirely new transit system, or a much increased level of service with different technologies, the investment could be made--but that would also involve having to create a situation of two competing services and methods that would muck up the city.

Dashi, Singapore gave the Indians their own little town to do what they want.
Mistake on your part to get a hotel there. Should have chosen Bugis area or Geylang if you wanted a cheap room. But nothing wrong with Little India, safe as it can get, what you experienced (I find hard to believe) was probably the typical conversation between an indian man and his wife or girlfriend. Indians
I'm sure you have no idea how ignorant you are making yourself out to be in this thread.
It's quite funny actually. The irony drips.
