It was also the top in the the most costly city of India poll conducted by The Times Of India. The number two Mumbai I think or so I remember.

The reason for the cost is the IT companies. They make it happening. They have improved the life standards of their employees wherein they are ready to pay how much ever they demand. So naturally traders hike the price in anything and everything.

With growth comes inflation. Some 10 years back there was no IT industry here and so the costs of living was pretty low. With the revolution also comes cost of the revolution.

Banglore is one of the costliest cities i have seen. My cousin works in a It company there and tell me that living expenses are very much as compared to other cities there and this mainly because of the It revolution there.

agreed. When I was on my internship there in HP labs, the living costs were way to exhorbitant. even 10k per person seemed to be a lot of compromise per month.

Certainly Bangalore is a costly city. The rent rates are sky high and rickshaws prove to be expensive as well.
