Luxury development advertising "no social housing"

Property ObserverDecember 7, 2020

Our tweet of the day today comes from @faisalislam who tweeted out this picture of a sign in Kuala Lumpur for Stratford flat roadshow.

"A brand new fully private luxury development," the sign says. With the addition "with no social housing".

We can't help but imagine the reactions if a similar sign was presented in Australia.

The UK's London Evening Standard reports that flats at Capital Towers, with two-bedroom homes starting at 321,000 pounds, has sparked a bit of outrage.

"It’s unbelievable that 191 luxury apartments in Stratford are being advertised to millionaires in Kuala Lumpur with the promise they’ll never have to rub shoulders with the hoi polloi. Is this really what our Olympic legacy is about?" Darren Johnson, Green Party member on the London Assembly, was reported as saying.
