content: Indiegogo, they're more friendly to bullshit. I suspect they'd be happy to help fund a new house for you.

content: Quote from: hammy on September 20, 2013, 02:03:56 pmTo put that island price into perspective. Houses around the corner from me, out in the boring average suburbs, on tiny blocks of land (say 600sqm) can go for upwards of $2M.I'll take the island at twice the price thanks. It probably has better internet

content: With the price of the HK flat here you can buy a house on around a half hectare of land with a sea view in the good suburbs. You can even buy a pretty big farm for that amount.but if you go down to the Cape there that will buy you a house on the beach, though it also comes with an elevator to get from the garage to the house itself, otherwise you climb about 50m of stairs, or on the other side of the road you go down about the same.
