You gotta wonder about Mumbai then. Is it worth spending so much money and living there?
it's city of bonded labour
In comparison, in India, the whole country is migrating to NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru, because they aren’t many opportunities in other cities. So these cities become overpopulated and there is no scope for good infrastructure. Plus there are slum dwellers squatting on hundreds of acres of land, add to that illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants. Total chaos. The cities are also dirty, especially because a lot of the people moving there are uneducated with no knowledge of sanitation and hygiene.
The only solution is to listen to the tunes of Jai Santoshi Maa and go to peaceful sleep
In most people's opinion, Mumbai is a balance of everything and weighs much higher for safety (women and general). Of course, some people value certain things over others and choose other cities, and that is perfectly fine. Having a hate b*ner for a city that is the financial lifeline of India does no one any good. All said and done we are long ways from even standing on the same pedestal as Chinese T1 cities for.... anything except individual freedoms. I personally love Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai and have a grudging respect for Chandigarh, even though it feels souless (my own opinion, feel free to scoff). If you can't tell, I place planned cities on a pedestal.
If you're getting into the profession, please never make such connections again. We can be sad that aesthetically, a lesser known Chinese city looks much better than one of our top metros, but we have to also make sure that we compare apples to apples. If I had to critique myself, it would be that I need to draft stuff better; we all have stuff we need to get better at.
