subject: Properties in Delhi: Are they affordable for all? [print this page] Although, the increase in the prices of property does not surprise anyone, as there has been an upswing in the prices of all the commodities, be it groceries, electricity, travelling or anything else related to the utilities. Therefore it actually is not very surprising to see the rise in the prices of residential properties in Delhi. Moreover with increase in population of the country, there is some sort of space crunch and shortage of facilities which is tackled by increasing the prices so that it is affordable only for the few. Another reason for this rise is the growing trend of corporate culture which is increasing in Delhi. With the coming of multinational companies in Delhi, people prefer to stay close to their jobs, Therefore most people prefer to stay in Delhi to enjoy the facilities offered by this place. All these attributes makes one wonder is there is a scope for the poor to live in Delhi?
