Just a note on point 1:
As someone who is Indian and frequently visits the sub continent (writing this from a suburb in Delhi) I can categorically tell you that no one actively wants to live in the cheapest Indian cities (just left my family’s home city which falls into this bracket).
I’m not sure if you’ve travelled much around the sub continent but I’d say you’re quite badly romanticising it. Yes we have our own culture which is different to that of the USA but, as with all things, there are A Lot of aspects of the culture here which are not admirable.
- leosanchez 11mo ago> I can categorically tell you that no one actively wants to live in the cheapest Indian cities Sorry to burst your bubble but, I love living in my T3 city I was born in. Don't talk for 1.4 billion people. Thanks.
- sumedh 11mo ago> Don't talk for 1.4 billion people. The data for Indians moving out of India does the talking.
- leosanchez 11mo agoThe phrase was: > I can categorically tell you that no one actively wants to live in the cheapest Indian cities It is pretty easy to disprove it, as me and my friends that are living in T3 cities are pretty content with our lives.
- cuteboy19 11mo agovery few people move out permanently. if you exclude the gulf workers that is.
- nine_k 11mo agoWhile what you write is correct, the parent speaks about the most expensive tier of Indian cities, which are quite a bit nicer.
- torginus 11mo agoAnd are just as expensive as most nice places in the US
- decimalenough 11mo agoWell, no, not really. Top tier Indian cities like Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai are expensive and horribly dysfunctional when it comes to pollution, traffic, hygiene, dealing with government bureaucracy, etc. Having money insulates you from some but by no means all of this.
- NaomiLehman 11mo agohow are they expensive?
- makingstuffs 11mo agoThe parent literally mentions ‘the cheapest Indian cities’. As others have said, even the richest cities have a swathe of issues which simply do not exist in the west (reasons for which are another discussion). *looks at air pollution chart which is literally at 359 right this second (01:38)*
- sumedh 11mo agoHave you ever travelled in Mumbai city trains during peak hour, I can assure you it's not nice. Look up videos on Youtube.
