Rs 1 Crore Income Not Enough for 'Decent' Gurugram Home? Techie Feels 'Defeated'

• A Gurugram-based techie sparked debate, claiming a Rs 1 crore annual household income is insufficient to buy a 'decent' home in the city.
• Despite a budget of Rs 1.5-1.7 crore and good savings, the techie and spouse found no value-for-money homes after months of searching.
• Frustration stems from poor construction quality, weak infrastructure, waterlogging, pollution, and high prices compared to cities like Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
• The techie warned that IT professionals might leave Gurugram if property prices remain high and quality doesn't improve, citing better opportunities and living conditions elsewhere.
• Reddit users offered varied reactions, some suggesting budget adjustments or exploring areas like Dwarka Expressway, Faridabad, or Bhiwadi for more affordable options.
