From Pune, Ahmedabad and Mumbai to ‘knowing people’ from Kolkata, Hyderabad and more- a Bengaluru man seemingly reached a rather interesting conclusion about the IT Hub of India. ‘Bengaluru is the most expensive city to live in India’- the man stated in his social media post on Reddit, where he then went on to rant about the city’s expensive rent, food, lifestyle and more. To further prove his point correct, the man then began to compare other cities and their expenses with Bengaluru, pointing out how something or the other was cheaper in other Indian metropolitan cities. However, when it came to Bengaluru, the Redditor claimed that nothing was cheap. The internet user even claimed that a ‘monthly salary of Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000’ was not enough to sustain a ‘nuclear family’ in the city.
As soon as the post went viral, netizens began to react. Some agreed with the man, while a majority started naming other cities along with their expenses- claiming that Bengaluru was rather cheaper.
Times Now could not confirm the authenticity of the post.

“Mumbai street food is on another level when it comes to price and quantity. No comparison whatsoever,” a user said. “Bangalore is nowhere, I repeat nowhere close as expensive as Mumbai is. I have lived in both the cities for years,” added another person.
“Hyd is as costly as Bangalore too , I have seen recently from the past 1 year,” asked another. “Guru I’m staying in Pune, and i just want to come back to Bengaluru. the food infra here is so poor,” added a fourth person.
“Bruh have you seen hotel prices in Mumbai? I had to shell out 12k/night for a hotel that had no windows, just a room which is a bit bigger than the cot. Bangalore is not just a gated community of Whitefield Sarjapur electronic city!” added another person.
“I’ve stayed in Mumbai and Bangalore and the only thing cheap in Mumbai is alcohol. Ffs I remember paying 120 for masala dosa,” added another.
