rvp20182: Some do - some don't - like any city - majority of kenya lower & low middle class house - multiple units - are owned by landlords (kenyans) who rent it out - slums are owned by slumlords - most of middle class houses are not rented - by owned by middle class of course and same with high end estates.
hahaha
even the plush neighbourhoods of Kenya are that cheap to live in
rvp20182: Ghana - as your north star -in your vision 2050 - you have some way to get here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc_LnC2mB4k Nairobi's Karen area has been ranked among top global neighbourhoods in the world that are likely to outperform regional markets in the next five years.
This is according to a report by Knight Frank which featured areas in the world where investors are likely to pump in money in the near future.
Other areas ranked alongside Karen include Financial District (New York), Brentwood (Los Angeles), CBD (Cape Town), Bayswater (London), Palm Jumeirah (Dubai), and Forest District (Sydney) among others.
I dont like arguments like this because they are useless
even for 50 years, you wont catch up to Ghana cement consumption because Kenyans are poor
That might be the best house in Kenya becuase you've posted it so many times
rvp20182: We have seen enough of Nigeria and Ghana cities to know there are no where in real estate. Only South Africa cities and even Harare beat Nairobi in Sub-Sahara Africa.
The best estate in Ghana would be borderline lower-middle and middle class in Kenya.
As for cement - you know the drill - bring credible data.
the best estates in Kenya are low income houses in Ghana
Kenya is not a match for Ghana especially when it only consumes 5M metric tonnes of cement That was Ghana consumption 10 years ago.
triple up to 15M and youll catch up to Ghana in the real estate sector
Kenya at this moment can only at best compare itself with Ivory Coast.
rvp20182: Now at least you're nearly getting there... from show me where "kenyans live" - you now have some ideas of types of residential estates. 1) Slums 2) Low class housing 3) Lower middle class 4) Middle class 5) Upper middle class 6) Upper/high-end
Nairobi has it all - all organized and zoned - Ghana and Nigeria have what I'd call hodgepodge of everything making their cities look really fugly.
see the kid who consumes just 5M metric tonnes of cement making mouth oo
you cant even catch up to Ghana cement consumption yet you want to compete with Nigeria that is far developed than Kenya?
wonders shall never end
IN Nigeria, just go to BANANA Island and you'll drive for 20KM in never-ending estate In Ghana, just drive along the Motorway and you will drive for 20KM with Tema on your right and East Lego on your Left in never ending estates
2019 and Ghana aready consumes 12M metric tonnes Produce 15M metric tonnes of cement
your 5M consumption is peanuts
rvp20182: You are yet to reach kenya cement consumption and production. Let that rest unless you want to bring credible figures.
Also distinguish btw construction (pouring cement) and real estate ( it's more than cement - it mostly about the finishing, the aestetic and the designs).
Real estate is about houses, offices, malls, hotels - while construction is pouring cement & steel - for anything including roads, rails, ports,dams, schools name any construction activity.
Ghana cities are mini-Nigeria - hodgepodge of mostly iron-sheet rusted houses without any single vegetation in sight.
In real estate - like your president faux paux - you're about 30yrs to achieve Nairobi standards.
rvp20182: Ghana should not speak when real estate are discussed until 2050 - when you'll be like Nairobi in 1980s.
Example of Nairobi single dwelling estates: Nairobi has world class estates only rivalled by likes of South Africa - you find house selling for upto 5M dollars- on average single dwelling houses in most of Nairobi will cost you 0.5-1M dollars - many go for way higher.

YET your cement consumption is wat lower than Ghana
rvp20182: slums are urban last I checked. Kenya rural areas are not like west africa - people enjoy near similar living standards - which is why nobody is running to urban areas in such numbers like in west africa.
haha
near similar living standard without electricity and water or roads
rvp20182: You can ask Samrobo to help you - with more Nairobi districts. I told you for free slums occupy 2% of Nairobi landmass. They are located in little valleys and forest edges. The rest of Nairobi is okay.
Nairobi district are here Langata District, Nairobi County Kamukunji District, Nairobi County
Embakasi District, Nairobi County
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO4Vn9H9b1Q Njiru District, Nairobi County Makadara District, Nairobi County Kasarani District, Nairobi County Dagoreti District, Nairobi County
and yet only 20 - 30% of kenyans live in urban areas
so where does the 70% to 80% live , if not slums?

Nairobi district are here Langata District, Nairobi County Kamukunji District, Nairobi County Embakasi District, Nairobi County Njiru District, Nairobi County Makadara District, Nairobi County Kasarani District, Nairobi County Dagoreti District, Nairobi County Starehe District, Nairobi County Westland District, Nairobi County
rvp20182: All i read was musings from cement lobbyist for gov to use concrete roads. Bring CONCRETE cement consumption and production data. You can find many credible sources if your really try.
hehehe
you wont accept
because once you do, your entire argument with Ghana crumbles
don't worry even when we divide Ghana consumption by three and it become 5 million metric tonnes
Ghana still consumes more cement than you that means more development than Kenya.
but atleast, have some dignity and show us where kenyans live and leave the animal habitats alone
Kenyanstar: KENYA Samburu county The beauty of Kenya is so surreal and unmatched... No amount of money can buy mother nature and we as Kenyans have made it a duty to protect the natural beauty and heritage with our lives.
