Where do we stay in the meantime?

I thank Micheal Chua Kheng Hwee and Tan Ming Lee for the advice in their respective letters," Either buy a new condo or a new HDB flat "and" make it mandatory a one for one exchange" I was told by the housing and development board that I would need to wait for two and a half year than I just could apply for a HDB flat. After that had still had to wait for another two and a half years.
