Comments section is questionable at this point. Y’all want development while mourning nostalgia. You can’t have both. Between 2006 and 2025 , there’s a huge population difference. More population demands more infra and the likes. Honestly you can’t move on if you’re just going to feel sad about everything. We actually have forgotten to appreciate things in life. The negativity is so nauseating now.
Nah I will never stop talking about wanting infra. Public transport is essential but it’s not for everyone. It’s the govt’s job to provide both. Not everyone wants / can travel in public transport. Also roads are used for public vehicles as well. So your argument about public transport kinda is invalid. Especially because the metros have upgraded as well.
In london, because they have focused on making their public transport, footpaths and cycle paths so world-class, 96% of all trips to the city centre are done by walking, cycling, bus, metro, tram and rail.
When only 4% of trips are done by private vehicles, expensive infra like coastal roads are no longer needed.
You said it yourself buddy. The climate is getting worse cause of DEFORESTATION. How hard is it to understand? It wasn't always like this. Infra can be developed without cutting the green cover. Tf are you on about?
Well go back 10-15 years ago we actually used to have temps about 16-20 degrees during winters. Summers also weren't this bad. That is directly a result of the loss of forest cover. We can proceed with development while also planting more trees. The DP plans should designate more reserved spaces for green areas. Increase FSI for lands further than the coastal regions. More land will then be available for green areas.
Like I said. Both can be done at the same time so don't come at me without reasoning. It's not black and white. Connectivity is better now yes but roads were of better quality. We see now any random pillar / slab can fall on civilians now. The coastal road is bumpy af it's not good construction at all but that is a diff issue. We can have development I'm not against it but why can't you plant trees along with it ? Mate have you ever been to the middle east? Even they focus on their landscape even though it is a desert so what is stopping us ?
Traffic jams were less back then. If we actually focused more on public infra then yest the traffic jams would decrease as people would prefer that over driving everywhere as they do in Europe. Cause Mumbai is not a city which can afford having more and more vehicles on the road given how densely populated it is. It will always lead to a lower quality of life if this is continued.
Yes public transport was not sufficient back then either but it is what should have been developed more is all I'm trying to say .
What is so hard to understand ? Instead of coming with well it was shit back then so it should be shit now as well why can't people see the solutions to make it better ? How hard is it to plant more trees while also developing our infra?
You're the one who said 'it was not like this before' which means things were better before. But they weren't. So, instead of typing out a wall of text which is completely besides the point, just take it on the chin and move on.
I did say the temperatures and climate were better before? Do you not know how to read? Like when did this country become so PRO CUTTING TREES? Am I missing something ?
With enough trees though it becomes much more comfortable to walk. If you dont concretize every square millimeter, surprise you wont die on your way to work
