A 27-year-old techie said that despite earning ₹1.9 lakh per month, buying a home in Bengaluru seems impossible. Stating 3BHK apartments range from ₹1.8 crore-₹2.2 crore, he said, "Will I spend my life just paying EMIs?" A person called buying house "a middle-class dream which rarely comes true" while another said, "You'll either pay rent your whole life or EMI."
