Netizens Debate On India's Best City To Live, Pick Alternative To Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru; What Majority Suggested

A post on X ignited a debate on the best Indian city to live in as Delhi struggles with alarming air quality for the past two days. Aditya Behere, an X user, expressed concerns about raising children in megacities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru due to various challenges these megacities face and sought suggestions from netizens asking for alternatives.

Aditya outlined specific criteria for his ideal city, including low crime rates, good roads, clean air, walkable parks, quality schools, reliable healthcare, quick e-commerce services, temperate weather, ample water supply and a well-connected airport. He questioned whether such expectations were excessive, asking, ''Is this too much to ask?''

The post quickly gained traction, sparking diverse opinions. Some users praised the idea of combining the strengths of different cities, envisioning a utopia blending Mumbai’s vibrant culture, Delhi’s infrastructure and Bengaluru’s weather. Others humorously pointed out the impracticality of achieving such perfection.

Suggestions poured in, with one user advocating for proximity to natural attractions like Goa’s beaches and Ladakh’s landscapes, while several proposed Tier-2 cities such as Jaipur, Nasik, Indore, Aurangabad, Vadodara and Gandhinagar, among others citing their balance of modern amenities and livability.

Hyderabad emerged as a popular choice, with one user describing it as having "superior infrastructure and moderately good weather" that could remain sustainable for decades. Another user humorously advised a return to one’s native village, suggesting simplicity as a solution.
