| I know the article is AI slop just by the structure, my last job at MSFT had me producing artefacts like this, which is why I quit ;) The issue with buying land outside major metro areas like BLR are the following, 1. Irregular power supply. I lived 2 hours outside of BLR in a village and the power would regularly go off for minimum of 3 hours, sometimes more. The current KA government made a promise to voters to supply subsidised power and the downstream effect of this is that they must mandatorily supply power to BLR which is the only economic engine of KA. Consequently they end up shafting everyone else. 2. Poor education quality. The best teachers and smartest students are concentrated in BLR, unless you are willing to homeschool or are fine with your child not getting the best, this is a difficult tradeoff to live with. 3. Narrow minded people in villages. Unless you live in touristy areas like Coorg, CKM etc you will not find the diversity that you find in a big city like BLR. 4. Less than ideal medical care. Most villages don’t have the sort of hospitals and doctors you would find in BLR. The best doctors who would be the best paid won’t come to villages. Although I did live near a teaching hospital and the medical care there was average. If you’re a healthy individual, you might ignore this. Surprisingly the roads were decent, a result of being near a highway and having very low population density. Apart from these, I was living a “slow life”, had great AQI (most days), wide open spaces, great and cheap food. If you’re fine with the shortcomings, buying land in and around major cities is affordable but the shortcomings I mentioned are real and I don’t see them going away anytime soon. As to the efforts to decongest BLR, there are quite a few like Bidadi township but they are are more like bringing BLR style haphazard development to the outskirts, but these things are still very much in the nascent stage now. |
Just Congress things.
Brings back memories of Congress rule in our state with 9 hours power cut every day in summer.
Thankfully that was more than a decade ago.
