Ok, go and start a thread on the glories of Seme and Nakuru being the future . Hopefully it will not be filled to brim with a paucity of data and logical arguments.

As for DC Pilipili usiyoila?...

@AA you are right. Kisumu will deliver the highest returns in RE in the coming years esp with the waterfront developments masterplanned by the County. Expect huge investments on the Dunga side also with the new road under construction.



In addition to Transportation and Manufacturing, Kisumu is also positioning itself to be the epicentre of Western Kenya Tourism circuit. I was impressed by the hospitality at Ciala Resort.

You are a good comedian.
Nairobi is GROUND ZERO of pollution and short life expectancy. Did you forget that all hoods in Nairobi core are just a sneeze away from the biggest polluter in East and Central Africa - Industrial area? And please do not forget the fetid charcoal black coloured Nairobi River that is a cesspool of human feces, toxic chemicals and grime yet runs through all the poshest neighbourhoods in the city.

My friend you CANNOT stop the large whooshing sound of mass migration of Nairobians into the human conurbations in DC . Even if MM was not on Wazoo touting the glories of DC it has, is and WILL be happening as long as the socio-economic and strategic factors mentioned in post numero #uno in this thread, as well as many more factors mentioned by others thereafter remain.

I have said it 100 times before..the economics of it are inevitable. The average middle class Joe or Jill under 45 cannot afford a 30m apartment in Lavington cash. Mortgages in Kenya are under 30,000 out of a population of 40m which means they are basically a non-factor in this debate. To maintain the same standard of living or better that they are used to as a renter in Nairobi, but wishing to transition to the owner class, the only logical thing to do is buy and build in the DC towns bordering Nairobi which are by far the most cosmopolitan of any comparable towns within a 40km radius of the Hilton hotel in CBD. The face of Kenya is well established there and the quality of life is soaring by leaps and bounds daily as many have attested about Kitengela for example over the past year alone let alone 10 years.

So unless you are a scion of "old money" like Wukan who claimed he "owned" huge buildings in CBD then added the caveat "kind of - old money" -- meaning mama and papa own it, he owns zero and he's waiting for them to kick the bucket to inherit) -- then the unstoppable march of the wise ones to DC is your best bet. Ignore this advice at your own peril. Dudes like Sparkly who bought empty land in Yukos years ago and want to sell sasa are like those Dutchmen in Manhattan who sold the whole Island for 24 USD saying there were too many mosquitoes there and it was uninhabitable. Yet the rest is history.

I do 😎
Returns? Ask me in 50 years time, papa

You seem to be financially illiterate.. Can I suggest you call on other more knowledgeable Wazooans to help you out? Even a standard 5 student knows the small scrap of bush I bought and fenced near Acacia has made more unrealized cap gains in the first week of January 2019 alone on a shilling for shilling basis than your Mumias or HAFR will ever make (if at all) in the next three years
