"Facts be told, this isn't luxury, but in our system currently it is, and I understand because you won't get this type of environment elsewhere owned by the locals. But in most countries this is the average rental unit and not considered even luxury. But it is a start for our country too."

Self_Motivator said:

"This is a normal housing unit. Just that only 1 percent of Ghanaians can afford it. It’s not special across the world."
