Homes For All Ages: Multi-Generational Living | Dream Spaces | CNA Documentary

[@misssometing]

This is really another world that some Singaporeans live in. Space is a luxury indeed.

[@brendanbang6636]

Research had now shown that multigenerational living benefits mental, social and health for families and society.

[@mangotango7647]

Yes, true. It inculcates understanding and tolerance too. We used to live with our grandparents and uncles in a 3rm flat and those were the good times

[@MONi_LALA]

Multi-generation home sounds like a nightmare to many of my American friends. But, no matter how long I live in America, I couldn't shake off the Asian value and desire to live with my parents and being able to support them the way they supported me until their dying days. I would be too worrying about how they are doing if I live apart from them.

[@strawdemindset]

True

[@candicetran9620]

Im glad youre keeping & proud of roots & ASIAN CULTURES ALIVE. Nothing wrong to be living & take care parents, take care your family or help siblings. ASIAN HAVE STRONG FAMILY VALUES. ITS BEAUTIFUL & GOOD CULTURRS, SHOULD NOT FADE AWAY & NOT GET BRAINWASHED BY US OR WESTERN MEDIA.

[@nightlock826]

Considering the ludicrous rise of prices this seems to be more and more likely the future of America.

6:23 "Space was a challenge for this house" .... HDB dwellers: "ummm ok"

[@zandrakoon4651]

Beautiful & functional homes for multi-generational families who can live peacefully & harmoniously under 1 roof. This is a Good Blessing ! However, this is NOT feasible for individuals with difficult personalities. Daily conflicts with endless drama, distractions are most disruptive & destructive for family's mental, emotional & physical well being !

[@robert2690]

You can have privacy. Like what if you have separate living spaces, kitchen. Your grandparents live on the 3rd floor, your parents lived on the 2nd floor and you live in the 3rd floor. Separate and privacy but equal.

[@a.l.t.777]

God bless these beautiful families 🌈💗 And cheers to these gorgeous houses 🏡

[@bsolutions525]

No matter how big the house, I know I don't want my wife and my mother in close proximity!

:D :D funny bro

[@user-ln9zn9fh4u]

So true

[@dinahledda5173]

love this! Thanks for sharing. Indeed, it is important to cultivate family values and ethics among families in this new era.

[@LonganLee]

We must keep them in Power. For country for people, for our beloved PAP❤

[@rhuyisia8163]

If parents are old, poor and sickly, it's an entirely different story altogether! Sad but a reality!

Can Channel NewsAsia pls interview the more realistic group of people?

[@cboy5oc]

Great idea, but the average person could not afford to do this.

[@strawdemindset]

3 or 4 average incomes can do this, mom .. dad .. son .. son's wife

[@robert2690]

But average person living expenses has increased if you’re living by yourself.

[@chaotiongsai]

@@strawdemindset I don’t think the women in that first house work.

[@robert2690]

The average person can’t afford to move out and live on their own these days.

[@zhengjunliang6510]

Why all landed housing? HDB and condo cannot have multi gen living ah?

[@matreen427]

they did for HDB long time ago but guess it is very hard to find families to interview these days

[@briangerard2145]

Can..I guess the title of this vid should have been luxurious multi gen living

[@robert2690]

3 generations living separately, you can achieve that. What if the 1st Gen lived on the 3rd floor, 2nd Gen on the 2nd floor and 3rd Gen on the 1st floor? Each can have their own privacy, freedom. And if you decide to live on your own, you can rent the floor to someone else.

[@juliachristiansen10]

What a beautiful idea to be near your love ones ❤️

[@monkeybusiness2204]

This home is a fantastic setting for juicy family drama: siblings rivalry, in-laws squabbles e.g. parents vs wives, wive vs wive of the brothers, fight between grandchildren. Even the maids get some action. Living harmoniously my ass.

[@lewaspaige8226]

Absolutely beautiful

[@fcukyouuuuus]

We can learn alot from the second family religion wise. Tolerance and care.

[@uninedrawing3032]

emm...that is not my live~ Can have more cases of how multi-generation live in the HDB?

[@leaf4267]

These are the 1 % of Singapore i guess.

[@waileonglum2738]

I just loved this. Thank you!

[@Dangerous0Fairy]

This is the Arabic lifestyle . It has it's pros & Cons . The love , support & company is unfathomable but you might have to sacrifice a little bit of freedom , privacy & Autonomy .

[@robert2690]

Well, that’s like living in an apartment except, each generation are living in their own floors separately but financially, each generation’s expenses has reduced and the amount of income saved up has increased. You can have your own privacy, freedom, and autonomy in a multi-gen home. There’s adu’s.

[@KatJade269]

Not wanting to be “sour grapes” but when you have the financial means, people talk differently.

[@robert2690]

People can’t afford to move out on their own these days. So the fact that it’s more expensive if 3 generations living together shouldn’t make sense.

[@saminanaz7301]

I wish most of us were this sensitive

"Space was a challenge for this house"...Really bro? xDDD

[@LonganLee]

Can rent ?

[@sdqsdq6274]

since when it every kid dream to be a architect

[@Jzhongzhi]

Wait what is being an architect actually so profitable? The number of architects I have seen building their landed property makes me wonder if I am the delusional one and Singapore is actually not land-starved :/

[@Jianfa88Tsai]

Elevators need to be modified to be much larger and taller to allow vertical 20 degrees ambulance single bed trolley and two paramedics can fit in the elevator to evacuate the elderly via the ambulance trolley from upper storey to ambulance at ground floor outside.

[@philipooi66]

So if parents pass away, who will inherit it? All your brothers and sisters? Good luck splitting and living in it among yourselves lol.

[@robert2690]

How many Americans, especially elders are living by themselves, how are they doing? Financially? Physically? Mentally? That’s the cost of the American dream right? Not every america is living in an American dream. Because they can’t afford to

[@audreyang902]

Lucky owner.

[@Jianfa88Tsai]

Billions of humans over the past 5,000 to 100 years have been losing their virginity in Western nations and China during their teenage years even when they are living under the roof legally owned by their parents. Parents have been intimate with each other over decades when their child was a baby to their child becomes an adult. There’s no problem on why humans can’t live with their parents where the married children have intimacy with each other and the married parents have intimacy with each other in the privacy of their bedrooms. It will be interesting to hear from the bankers, landlords and other stakeholders who have been financially affected by this.

[@BH-2]

Are they some real life Crazy Rich Asians? None of my friends from Singapore live like that and I consider them doing quite well.

[@Vampybattie]

Children own nothing to their parents. You shouldn't be having them so they can take care of you in the future

[@liza6162]

For many asians, it’s in our culture to take care of our elderly parents.
