Each time I see news headlines about yet another Housing Board resale flat selling for more than $1 million, I shake my head. I make myself read the article – because I’m a journalist who writes about socio-political issues, including housing; and because I hope that this time, the report will give a more nuanced, accurate picture of these transactions.
Alas, I am usually disappointed. I then shake my head again, in despair.
