Can't disagree more. 1. Bangalore is not "overcrowded". It isn't in the top 20 cities in Asia by either population or population density. It does not have any geographical barriers to growth. 2. As an economy develops, it needs to urbanize. There are no developed economies that are predominantly rural. If we have to grow, we need to wean our people off the land and into cities. Keeping our population rural is merely a dangerous Gandhian fantasy. 3. Anyone who understands the politics of Bangalore knows the "overcrowded" is a dog-whistle for "overcrowded with outsiders". It shifts the blame from the administration to the citizens, especially to a tiny minority with no representation. Tech leaders, at least, should push back against this nativist narrative.
