Hongkong and singapore are tiny islands with no land to expand to thus the high rise apartments. Nairobi is different coz it has lots of neighbouring lands especially dustbowl and kiambu coffee farms to expand to.

Also you cant compare the filthy kirinyaga rd and grogon to hongkong. How can someone even live in that garbage and chokora infested kirinyaga rd? How do you and your kids and wife get home from work and school?

That's the same one going all the way to Suswa

Cities are tiny islands in a way. They are not meant to sprawl all the way to the countryside. Nairobi was meant to have an urban boundary zone and squeeze people into planned space. The National park and the kiambu coffee farms were meant to be buffer zones separating the urban and rural areas hence the likes of Joreth, Donholm, Runda Karen farms.

As for Hongkong surely you can't compare some of the areas there like Kowloon with Kirinyaga road. We are not anywhere near.You should see some dirty streets https://allthatsinterest....com/littering-in-china
or san Francisco's poop menace and chokora problem yet more tourists going there

Also Dustbowl will see the same dirty streets in some few years, where will you sprawl to? That's the future...deal with it.

The problem with shaggz areas is property issues are shrouded in mysticism and extremely strong community ties. If Swenani for example built a palatial 10m mansion in shaggz, it would literally become a "dead" investment because he would not be able to rent it or sell it to anyone in his lifetime except perhaps to the village mganga. That alone will make the cap gain growth rate very slow. If he built it in DC, however, it will sell or rent like hotcake and one simple mansion can easily be his retirement tiko.

Is Sholinke in the dust bowl? And how are plots sold by Daykio there doing?
