Housing Affordability Crisis

As the city expands with IT corridors, commercial hubs, and luxury residential projects, property prices and rental rates have steadily increased, making it difficult for many residents to find affordable housing in well-connected areas.

For working families, a large portion of monthly income often goes directly toward rent, leaving less for savings, education, or healthcare. In some cases, people are forced to live farther from workplaces due to lower rent, increasing daily travel time and cost.

The demand for housing has also led to smaller living spaces at higher prices, with compact apartments becoming more common in urban areas. This affects comfort, privacy, and overall quality of life.

Migrant workers and lower-income groups face even greater challenges, often relying on shared accommodations or informal housing with limited amenities such as water supply, sanitation, and safety.

At the same time, luxury housing continues to expand rapidly, highlighting a visible gap between high-income developments and affordable housing availability.

Addressing this issue requires stronger affordable housing policies, better urban planning, rent regulation awareness, and balanced development across different income groups.

A healthy city must ensure that growth does not only benefit the wealthy, but also provides secure and dignified housing for all residents.
