Problems I faced when staying in landed (terrace).

1. Porch only enough space for 1 car, and road outside always jammed with neighbours' cars. Situation nightmarish during major festivities like CNY, Christmas, or whenever a neighbour holds a gathering.

2. Mosquitoes infestation. You can clean up all you want, but neighbours' overgrown plants and unkempt lawn are attracting all sorts of insects.

3. Walls and floors cracked when neighbours start building taller homes (3 and 3.5 stories) in the place of single and double storey homes.

4. Very unsightly and non-uniform facade. Those neighbours who could not afford to upgrade their homes are spoiling the looks of newer homes. Likewise, those newer homes are blocking out the views and air flow of the shorter older homes.

5. Can get very hot and stuffy.

6. Don't have any views.

7. Any repairs to home can be expensive. Also no collective sharing of costs with neighbours.

8. Got to bring out thrash

9. Outside road narrowed by cars parked along the road. Dangerous for people to walk.

Aiyoh, too many to list. Also it brought back not so fond memories......
