Pragya Kothari  |  Supported idea  "To create emploment opportunity every where rather than afording housing colony."  |  2 years ago
Good idea aqueel, I agree with you this is also one of the best way to promote affordable housing. But I don't think so this will be a solution in the short run. This will be a good solution in the long run, not only for affordable housing but...

1 Located in far-flung location
2 High Cost of Land and Finishing.
Anoop kumar  |  Added idea  "Technology"  |  2 years ago
technology is another factor which is hindering low cost mass housing. In our country we are still far behind in using tchnologies which are most cost effective. Also research is also lacking inthis field. Until we develop technologies to use...
Santosh Kumar Mohanty  |  Supported idea  "Located in far-flung location"  |  2 years ago

Dear Esha, Thanks for referring this debate to me. Well I have a different school of thought when it comes to Dream Home renting. Yes it highly depends on your taste location and occupation and also this fact should also be considered whether you...
Rupesh Mainkar  |  Argues in support of  "Rent"  |  3 months ago
I agree with Esha. There are different mindsets in the market. Some want to settle down forever in a particular city irrespective of the real estate market and the loss of investment. Purpose of buying or renting a house justifies their decision.
Esha Johar  |  Argues in support of  "Rent"  |  3 months ago
It highy depends on your taste, your location and occupation. In case you are not going to be stable in one city buying a home just increases your maintenance cost. The property rates might rise but that would not do any help here because you are...

A young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took a holdon the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda’s eye and knocked out her contact lens. Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her. Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn’t there. Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry. She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it. When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the...

Those of which consciousness has been waked a little more than average consciousness of the people, are not feeling the necessity of observance of any in vogue religious rites and practices. ‘Manav Dharma’ or ‘MahaDharma’ (–the obligations of humanity) is their religion (works with deep attachment like religion). Also they are disagreeing to surrender themselves to monarchy. Therefore, monarchy and religion do not want that the human race becomes enough conscious.
