Well, it is much worse elsewhere.

You should look at other countries where pay is much less and real estate is at similar levels of cost: from Europe, Canada, China, Australia and India.

Condos in Mumbai are priced similar to those in the major cities in the US.

And Mumbai is one of the more affordable cities globally.
