🌍

Singapore is a big city of roughly 5,900,000 people on an island in Singapore. The climate is tropical. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $3,450. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for food and eating out, art and culture, nightlife.

Entro il 2030 qui è atteso un cambiamento concreto: cross island line, fasi 1-3. È un’isola collegata tutto l’anno, spesso più volte al giorno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. La sanità privata (5/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (3/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. Vivere fuori rete qui non è praticabile: l’allaccio alle reti è di fatto obbligatorio.
