While I was in SF this wealth disparity feeling was present, but it was an order of magnitude less than what I saw in Mumbai. There you have 30+ story building acting as the personal residence for a multi bilionare (complete with 2 helipads) and across the street a family of 3 living on a "tent", cooking food on a makeshift fire made from trash and a baby drinking milk out of a transparent plastic bag - all of this under the nauseating smell of human feces. This wasnt a one off thing, its all over the place.

And yet, our tv stations and metro editions of newspapers go on and on about the spirit of Mumbai.

Still, there’s no city like Mumbai in the whole of India. It’s literally got something for everyone.

On the positive side it's a whole lot better than 20 years ago where there was virtually no middle class in India at all.
