How many of you live in Bangalore?
What do you think about infrastructure of Banglore with thoughts of yesterday's incident ? Is it good or too bad Or just underpass should get closed ?
I hate it but my company forces me to move there. It's one of the worst cities i lived. Weather and food is amazing but the quality of daily life is just not worth it with traffic, gundas, the constant digging and of course the supreme land owners demanding inflated rents
+1000 to this man! This is the truth(not sure about the Gundas mentioned though)

What you said is it has increased in recent times earlier it was not like this about rents and all.
There is specific areas where rent is more then the salary of a person.
But there is some areas where less rent .
Also in some area there is high rent in some building
Besides that building less rent
I live in HSR layout 7th sector
1bhk 12k rent
But easily 5 members can live here
Because master bedroom and even hall is big also balcony with semifurnished .
Just 12k .

Cluttered concrete dystopian space . Sky high rents , avg quality of food for the price you pay , expensive everything . Traffic and lots of it , bad cops , did I miss anything? (There is weather to cover all the above points)
@FatBriefly28 saying dystopia is definitely taking it too far. It's not the best, but its still quite good come on

What weather? It's either super hot and humid or raining and water logging

I've always said one thing: Bengaluru has a ton of new companies and hence the convenience that comes with it. The weather is relatively better than other places. Everything else is bad!

A 22 year old girl died in a car near kr circle underpass
She was Infosys employee
Well, there’s worse incidents in the capital region every month 🥲

Used to not like it too much when I’d to go to office.
Since I’ve switched to remote, it really is quite nice. North is too hot, coasts are too moist. Bangalore has the best intersection of convenience (delivery/services), weather and folks in tech.

Living for 26 years in Bangalore. Every place has its drawbacks and issues. There is no denying it. What matters is what is your CTQ. If it’s a easy commute then start your day early and leave home early. If it’s people then stay at a premium locality etc. hope you get the point. Bangalore is No America but it’s not as worst as some other places as well.

It’s excruciating tbh. The constant digging, patching up only to dig up the same road again. The failed bus lanes, remember anyone? The pain in the ass metro construction which is taking forever to complete. Inflated rents, inflated cab fares and the horrific traffic jams. We’ve already seen the floodings last year. And not to mention this otherment towards North Indians. If you’re from north you’re an outsider, an immigrant. Rant posts like mine will get much hate on Twitter, asking me to go back to my native. It doesn’t matter if you pay your taxes to the state and add to its growth, you have no rights and can only be grateful. So yeah, definitely not the best place to be anymore.

What city do you think apart from Bangalore ?
Shift to Hyderabad, you will never feel like that. The most cosmopolitan, most accepting IT City hands down.

Even a 30k salary person can easily use this.
Even 2 members 6k per month rent which is much less .
Scoring weed is very tough and cops are asshole about it.
Thats a deal breaker for me.
Plus pretentious tech crowd screaming "peak Bengaluru" at every brunch they are having doesn't help either.

Dude, lived in Bengaluru for more than 3+ years, but now I want to live in my hometown.
Deduct 3-4l from my salary, and give permanent wfh, I'm more than happy, but no, they want cashflow to happen here. Many high profiles has investment in tech parks as well.
The only thing stopping Bangalore from becoming a great city is its horse shit politicians. In my opinion, regardless of their political parties, they should be lynched in open if they fail to deliver infrastructure promises and their bloodlines should be terminated.

It's pathetic. Plain and simple. There is nothing good about this place. The good weather brings rain which in turn brings traffic and trouble. Every place you go is crowded. They don't even have water pipeline in areas like Sarjapur so every drop of water is from tanker. You might be ok with it till you realise that digging ground water at this rate is an invitation to heavy metals. I have lived in Hyderabad before and I miss that place every single day.
Other than that girl, two people died on the same day- one because of falling in a drain and the other from a live electric wire.
I don't live in Bengaluru.
Bengaluru has two things going for it.
One - weather, which they don't or can't control.
Second - the concentration of the tech talent - which they do have still an advantage of, but not massively unlike a few years back.

Bangalore infra is not great. It's infact pretty bad when compared to Delhi. That's a fact.
But accidents happen everywhere, that's not a norm for one to decide anything.

Just make sure to live super close to your workplace. All problems solved. Everything else about Bangalore is amazing.
All hype, too much to type. Mediocrity is encouraged and anyone who speaks against it is asked to leave.

Bengaluru really sucks if you are an outsider or a non rich person. You'll like it initially but your bank won't.
Rent is very expensive and cheap PGs are gutters
No place to find cheap good food. All cheap places use a lot of oil or give bhikari portions
Non existent footpaths in most places as a guy who walks to office I can't walk in peace
Power cuts - Are you fucking kidding me. Tier 1 city but weekends have 3/4 hours of planned powercuts. Good on people with backup but not me
