People In Bangalore Resonate & Attack To The Users Now Deleted Post
A Reddit user writes, "This is why I keep saying that life in Bangalore, and in any city in India in general, is unsustainable. We do not have the ability to see more than 2 feet away. The way we drive in traffic is a good indicator of what happens when we are put in charge of planning a city. For all those people planning “which school in Bangalore will be good for my kids 10 years from now” - please think logically and ask yourself if you want to send them to a school without water or electricity. And then they say the population of Bangalore is doubling in 10 years so economy will boom - will you eat Tata Motors shares and drink Parag Parikh funds for food? What boom? We will run out of resources in 2 years, then the actual economic situation will come to light."
Another user defended and wrote "Oh i see, can you give me scientific figures and not just words. Do you know Colorado river is sinking to dangerous levels for the past couple of years and it supplies water to major cities in USA. If im not wrong california which is supposed to be one of the most upmarket cities in USA had crippling water shortages recently. Please get your facts right and the west is not a benchmark for anything to be honest."
