Bengaluru vs Mumbai

I guess Bangalore is Becoming the next Mumbai.Its so tough to get a good flat at a reasonable price in Bangalore. And if you are looking inside of Bengaluru the cost is so high. A typical 3 bhk would cost close to 2 crore. And then there are set of builders who confidently say sir we don't give OC and CC.And no gives it in Bangalore. And everything is already sold.Anyone would be like sir only few units left. Even if you buy an apartment how do you plan on paying the emis.How many years.Do enlighten in comments

Recently our Owner asked us to vacate after 3 years of staying here in Koramangala, a 4 BHk home. Mostly be renegotiating with him. Meanwhile in our search for possible other options, we have found that most of the residential properties are being inflated randomly by the owners recently, the reason being, we all know the influx into Bangalore & I have had a call with few properties - 1.3 Lakhs quotes for unfurnished 4 BHK home in HSR Sector 1 - 1.5 Lakhs quoted for Unfornished 5 BHK in HSR sector 3 Too much firing in place, AI advent, Funding slowdown in Startups Things are going super greedy with owners here in Bangalore. Thoughts on how to overcome this situation ?

We've witnessed so many layoffs in the past year and this continues to be an upward trend. Bangalore is a city of IT professionals and these layoffs seem to have no effect on the real estate. Is this because the numbers are negligent? I don't think that's the case, my company has been laying off people since last year. It was never public. I'm sure there are lots of such companies. What are your thoughts?!

I have been in the startup industry for a decade now, in multiple roles. I see a start difference in the general culture between these 3 cities. I myself behave very differently on the basis of where I am, maybe because of peers/friends in these cities. Can you guys objectively line out the differences you see? Can be anything like the idea of chilling out OR how people perceive salary OR loyalty OR work commute OR discretionary spending OR luxury brands affinity.

People in Bengaluru are ready to pay 75k for a 3bhk, 50k for a 2bhk in famous builder societies. Rents for apartments which were 35k before 2021 are demanding 55k onwards nowadays. Why are people tolerating this shit ? Why are people still opting to stay in so called societies? Gyms hardly 5 PC people use Swimming pools are used occasionally Sports facilities are also not very commonly used. Why are people paying such large premiums for amenities they don't really use ?

I’m planning to buy a house, have a budget of about 1.5 cr. I just got married. I need an area with good infra and connectivity. Any suggestions?

After getting a bunch of 'buy a house' advice from my in-laws over the weekend, I decided to fire up magicbricks to check prices in Bengaluru. My browsing ended within 5 mins seeing just how much the prices have risen in last 1 year A 3BHK that used to cost 2.3 Cr last year is now 3.7 A 2BHK that used to cost 1.8 Cr last year is now 2.7 These are two houses I had earmarked for sometime later when I would have more money WTF is happening in BLR

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido. I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this. Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops. Have you faced such things in this city?
