What the 80% statistic doesn't convey is the fact that you have people delaying getting married and continuing to live with their parents because HDB supply can't keep up with demand. See also the insane valuations for resale flats.

Even government flats are expensive in singapore.
"In Singapore, nearly 80% of the population resides in housing that is developed and managed by the Housing and Development Board. Units are owned, however, by tenants. The government, following a land-lease system common in other city-states, owns the land and leases it out for 99 years to these unit owners."
