I don't think salaries have risen much but prices have.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

4k+ back in 80s, early 90s
can own 4 to 5 rm flat. Some more is BIGGER Than present so call BTO flat.
If you go old 4/5 rm HDB flat vs current ones. You can really see the difference which old HDB flat is bigger. YET cheaper.
This is why the " system " is getting mess up , now . Who benefit most behind ? Those money go where?

No more affordable HDB.
Only expensive HDB.

Affordability has a few components the politicians never spelt it out clearly for you.
Affordability=(income of household-cost of living)*propensity to oppose ruling party/Gini coefficient
To ensure that country is stable, you either up the Gini coefficient or cost of living. Because when income is high and Gini coefficient is low, then chances of a new govt is high since there is no issue with affordability without ruling party...
