Mangalore Real Estate - Looking Up

15 October 2008 - 10:32am — Naveen
Real Estate prices in Mangalore have been increasing by leaps & bounds. An article in TOI today (15th/Oct) states that several 1-crore-plus apartment blocks are being constructed with heavy demand. This is astonishing since all Metros are facing a slump & prices have in fact dropped in certain areas, such as Whitefield in Bangalore.

By not having an elected council in place, BBMP is not able to get matching grants under JNNURM for development of Bangalore. We have lost precious time and money thanks to malgovernance. Lokmanya Tilak in the early 20th century cried for Swaraj for all Indians. We in 21st century Bangalore cannot even manage our own neighbourhoods!

I was waiting for one of these two to happen. What if:

  1. BMTC bids to operate buses in liberalized UP transport sector?

Most of the traffic planners say to start the satellite bus stands to reduce the city traffic. Recently KSRTC Minister Mr.Ashok announced many satellite bus stands and even in Mysore where the traffic is quite normal in the range of 300+ crores. Will they really serve the purpose?
