you are assuming income ratio is relevant. you are only partly correct.

it's now very apparent that singapore is moving toward a pro-business elites-only global city. income of citizens is now IRRELEVANT. as long as the rich can afford it, prices will continue to go up. citizens are irrelevant. if they can't pay, they can always move to johor.
