Needless Comparision.

The comparision IS needless. Over the past few decades, politicians and builders have milked the city dry.. The mill lands have all been opened up for developement. If it were any other city, some percent of the surplus land would have been made into open spaces( which one is starved of, in here). But here, we see huge buildings and malls coming up everywhere. The old chalws are being pulled down. The old bombay charm is no longer there..No one seems to care 2 hoots about the effect on the ecology. SEZ laws are routinely violated. Mangroves and trees are being hacked. Old timers rue that the quality of life in the metro has hit an all time low..
