@FumidFortis Tbh I also err on the side of genetics, but this has truly opened my eyes.
English
Sounds like a Goan catholic from Bombay tbh. Eyyy wot men Lobo, wot bugger? Looks like a Dhandho Seth ji. Bald and Pot-Bellied. Good news is that Indian physical problems are clearly cultural and not genetic. Because even north europeans with 80% Steppe ancestry become jetified in India.

@aramanujaa @vmk08590013 But why does every sea shore need to be allowed to be used for fishing and then also those very livelihoods protected?
English
This is neither poverty nor mediocrity. Fishermen live by the sea because their livelihood depends on it. Their boats, work, and lives are tied to the coast. You cannot push entire communities away just because someone in a penthouse wants an uninterrupted ocean view while sipping whiskey. If they want isolation and luxury, they can go to Mahabalipuram.

This romanticism of poverty & mediocrity has to stop in TN. How on earth are you ok with this?? TN Govt build a dedicated fish market for them, and yet they chose to do this!! Pathetic..

@yeetmaarkhan My poimt was cheap public transport (affordable housing too) in a city allows for higher wealth divide AS it allows for poor people to exist and tap into economic opportunities of dense urban cities. It or delhi in specific is not conducive to wealth accumulation
English
@Importantmother delhi metro is amazing ngl, literally the best and probably the last good use of taxpayer money
English
every time im in south delhi all i want is the working class of india pull a french revolution here

South Delhi will always outmog every district in India because urban luxury is not just malls or real estate prices, it is tree cover, shaded streets, wide roads, walkability and transit access. Walked nearly 10 km today from Hauz Khas to Vasant Kunj post leg day via Qutub Institutional Area and you can literally feel the temperature drop under the tree canopy. Cool breeze, shaded corridors and surprisingly continuous sidewalks across most stretches except parts of Katwaria Sarai & Masoodpur urban villages. Delhi’s ridge and green cover reduce local surface temperatures by 2-5°C in several pockets. This is exactly why Indian cities need aggressive urban afforestation and shaded pedestrian infra to fight the urban heat island effect in a tropical climate. Its simple, More trees = cooler cities, lower artificial ventilation demand, healthier walking environments and better public transit usage.
English
@yeetmaarkhan I think you yourself are realizing what i' talking about we're just splitting ends here. But again, a double digit % of delhi's workforce is not going through the shit conditions like the mumbai local. They do suffer from no footpaths, lack of shade. Env factors and gov failures
English
@yeetmaarkhan Mumbai Locals are in pretty horrible conditions btw compared to anything in delhi
English
@yeetmaarkhan Yeah and what does cheap public transport (that is fast) remind you of? Im not making binaries that mumbai bad delhi rich
English
@BillWiIdin @ElectricWa46949 Is your whole country just a bunch of fake jobs? Why is this a normal hypothetical
English
@ElectricWa46949 Exactly. If that's the job, it shouldn't pay the same as the guy sitting at a desk 8 hours. Pay for presence, or pay for output. You don't get both at full price.
English
@BillWiIdin This isn't a tax return, wages ought to be by market rates. You're just entitled
English
@JustMariner @shivaXdrives Japan too, the sad part was their highways looked pretty much exactly like some of our new ones... but one could actually maintain speed as theres not retards going all over the place. Proper lane discipline increases speeds to actual ratings
English
@shivaXdrives In Korea I saw proper lane discipline.
High speed lane was always empty unless someone had to overtake.
English
@yeetmaarkhan Being poor in some cities means you can work within ~2km of your home. Limiting your economic mobility and access. That's not true in a place like Delhi, uk what incentives allowed for that?
English
@yeetmaarkhan Yeah exactly, being poor shouldn't mean you're dying and the root cause is not lack of money in many cases its governamce failure.
English
@yeetmaarkhan Cost of transport? Time taken to get to nice areas? How far from the poor do the rich want to (and get to) be evaluate that is what im saying
English
@Importantmother in mumbai it doesnt cost anything. what are you saying? its a free country
English
@yeetmaarkhan Inflated cost of living with car centric infra, inflated real estate prices while surrounded by barren land, absolutely no affordable housing or metro projects completed while 20 expressways launched. This fortunately doesn't sound like Delhi and is textbook pushing out the poor
English
@yeetmaarkhan Perhaps, but the proletariat may eat twice more a week... gotta get out of idealism right. If you really think class dynamics don't change depending on residential layouts you should take a look at the US
English
@yeetmaarkhan I just don't agree with your wishing to pull a "french revolution" in a whole area when really even while being poor the people could be having so much. The entire South Delhi or whatever it represents really isn't the main enemy here.
English
@yeetmaarkhan Not to mention the high student population and migrant worker population would also skew the wealth divide more
English
@yeetmaarkhan Cause and effect, the fact that the wealth divide is wider is not just cause people are hoarding money, they do that everywhere. Delhi allows for rich and poor to exist in the same city, usually within <5km of each other. Mumbai has a worse wealth divide but it puts distance
English
@yeetmaarkhan Try to notice, does it really cost you a lot to wander into a "nice area" in delhi? Time wise, cost wise
English
@yeetmaarkhan Rich people and poor people living nearby in gurgaon is way rarer and difficult and hence those developmental incentives stray further
