Happy to share that the new parivahan portal is miles ahead!

It is a fully centrally funded and built system that makes the whole thing uniformly decent.

What if, we actually instead overbuild power gen and distribution, that it actually supresses price?

Imo, the answer should always be, yes, build, please.

Heavy industries (which support blue collar growth) come to places with cheaper power.

Exactly!

Having a house that is large enough to support whatever hobby(/ies) one takes up is an underappreciated aspect of suburban living.

Growing up, (moderately wealthy) in a comparatively decent sized apartment, in a decent area, the biggest reason to not take up something like woodworking, or say working on a car, or for that matter gardening.

So, as soon as I graduated, I moved out of the city, into a suburb. I get 80% of the benefits of the density (there is a denser suburb 1km away), so I get walkable shops, and all the hep places to eat/drink are just 30 minutes away by car :)

Did I mention the ability to stretch my arms without punching someone in the face while travelling? (because public transport when successful (highly utilized) is crowded, and that is just plain painful)

And, the worst part is that because it is an "application" issue, it is possible that it is going to a "gift that keeps on giving" for a long time.

And the worst part is that most (indian) banks have been using only android/ios for "security" for some time now.
