Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, is experiencing a significant housing crisis as both rents and property prices continue to rise sharply. A resident recently shared their frustrations on Reddit, describing the search for a 2BHK apartment as a 'nightmare.' Over the past three years, the price of flats has surged from ₹1.4 crore (approximately $168,000 USD) to ₹2 crore (roughly $240,000 USD), despite the properties being located near large drains and suffering from other issues. Rents have also skyrocketed, with many residents now paying over ₹70,000 (about $840 USD) per month for similar accommodations. This increase in housing costs is compounded by poor infrastructure, as many societies rely on tanker water and have inadequate road access. The situation has led to widespread discontent among residents, who feel that the rising costs are not justified given the existing living conditions. Discussions on social media highlight the shared concerns about the affordability and availability of housing in Bengaluru, particularly in areas close to IT hubs.
