Good Place to live in Yunnan

Highrise = 8 Floors or more - with elevator = Projects.

Lowrise = 7 Floors or less - no elevator

Townhouse = villa - too expensive.

Yes, I was talking about lowrise apartments (2 Redbooks) in both cases. I would never buy a house in the projects.

@alien @janjal it's maybe true the people I know have usually lived in Kunming for a couple generations (especially family as they go back past my wife remembers), hence as janjal says probably had to make way at some stage.

@ redjohn: Could be, but I doubt if most of those who have had to make way have managed to get 2 flats instead of one, so I'm not sure how this might work. Perhaps individual members of a large family simply refer to the flats of other family members as 'theirs', thanks to the family-centered individual identity syndrome?

I suppose with the large family thing that probably happens :)

Some might see that 'family-centered individual identity syndrome' as a burden in China but I kind of like it. It feels....quaint? Maybe wrong word lol
