In Singapore, everyone eats out in the hawker centers so most housing doesn't have a full blown kitchen. Of course Singapore has the population density to make this feasible and buying food is pretty cheap.

- magduf 7y agoThis likely only works because Singapore is so dense that the food vendors are a very short walk from your home, on average. So you can just go walk around the corner and grab something, or grab something on your walk home from work. This isn't the case in many other places, and certainly not in America where everyone drives everyplace. (It is, however, frequently the case in Manhattan, which does have that density in places.)
