Thanks buddy. Price alone really wasn't the impetus for me writing the article. For $1,000/ month you can look at most asian cities - and yes, you can look at US cities. You could bootstrap in Columbus, Ohio - Detroit or Omaha for a similar price point.

What I was getting at is - the scene - the people here, the combination of factors and overall value.

That coupled with a lot of the other factors - is the distinguishing point not just price.

Like I said below though, a lot of things have change - imo - for the better. I need to update the article soon.

I need to get back to India. I lived there for a year in 1999. I can't imagine how it has changed now.

Cheers.
