That is their plan. Having unorganised infra incentivizes outsiders to go to other cities and then then locals can play kannada kannada daily without hearing Hindi words /s

Unplanned is not accurate. East Bangalore is not entire Bangalore. Go to Jayanagar, Malleswaram, Rajajinagar and other places where locals live and see it for yourself. And also compare the cost of living.

Coming to East Bangalore, here are the reasons

  1. KIADB designed the plots for industries and did their job but BDA did not plan for housing around.
  2. The 2015 BDA master plan of BDA was rejected as it did not included transportation and there is none currently to hold anyone accountable.
  3. There is a reason for this. Without master plan, the builders can freely build on any land with only local approvals and they are as good for a small village.
  4. If there was a master plan, the govt body needs to calculate th number of people for the road width, water pipe width, sewage capacity, plots for schools, hospitals, parks and other common amenities and then enforce the number of apartments. Now it is a blank cheque for builders.
  5. And people coming from Mumbai or Delhi found these apartments cheap compared to their home towns, lapped then up.
  6. East Bangalore due to geography has multiple lakes connected by rajakaulves. And these lakes and rajakaulves are supposed to have buffer zones to avoid flooding.
  7. Due to 2 loop holes in the law and land procedure, you can create documents for any lake and builders can build on it. The buyers do not care to check all the legalities, hey I am not the only one buying so the risk is not soley mine this kind of attitude
  8. Due to sky high demand for rent, capitalists build 6 floors for PG on a small plot of land. The legal limitation is only 2 floors. Imaginge the water, road, sewage having to support these number of additional people

So whom do you blame? The loopholes in law, the buyers who buy without legal validation, the capitalists who don't care for law, the people who rent these apartments/pg, the Govt officials who do not have a reference plan to enforce?

And due to these reasons, water problem, flooding, traffic are common. And the people being tech savvy they are around, make it look like the whole Bangalore is bad and every other small town is heaven. And locals cannot contradict these statements online, you know Bangalore is nothing without outsiders

Bangalore had a population explosion like no other Indian city. City has grown drastically in last 20 years and that's why infra is disorganized.

It's not as been a metro city since old times like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata.

Are they doing anything to make the new areas more organised ?

They are building metro in heavy traffic areas to reduce traffic. This is being done on ORR which is a new area.
I believe Bangalore still would take some time to go on to become a true metropolitan city.

Bangalore population growth and govt organisations failing to understand the growth rate after calling new MNCs and investments which in turn created new opportunities for people thus resulting in population burst. If there was a proper understanding of population growth along with a futuristic CDP, then surely the growth would have been factored and eased by developing all areas which are distant. Lack of CDP gave clean slate to everybody to write whatever they want. Recovery from this problem is going to be very tough.

Why do people take advantage of you in Bangalore?

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 ...
