Oh man don't get me started on Bengaluru. My tier 2 hometown sees more infrastructure activities than this silicon valley of India. People are just apathetic docile don't cares here. How come with an enormous budget and a rich state it's sooo bad? Doesn't matter who is in power here, same story all around.
- wow_yes 6y agoSounds like Silicon Valley in America, especially with transit and housing.
- mangamadaiyan 6y agoOh, you just can't compare Marathahalli or Silk Board with the 101, 680, 280 or 880. None of the latter even come close. They're both horrible in their own way, but I'd say Bangalore is worse. You don't often find ambulances stranded in traffic in SV, for instance. This is (was, until the pandemic?) a daily occurrence out here.
- srean 6y agoFrom what I understand the GDP of Bangalore enriches the federal body more than the state. The state gets money from center based on the population of state as a whole. So the state politicians do not have much skin in the game to try to keep Bangalore sustainable. Would be happy to be corrected.
- mangamadaiyan 6y agoI'd say the situation is even more twisted. This policy effectively motivates the state politicians to keep things unsustainable in order for them to make money (indirectly) off scarce resources in the city.
- mangamadaiyan 6y agoI'm curious. What people exactly are "apathetic docile don't cares here", and why?
