Here are some of the thoughts though. If TATA can build such , for sure government can do better. Why it can not solve the problem housing for poor in the same way ? We have so many money ripping housing related institutes there which can learn how do such things. Now if poor can afford and invest in such scheme of TATA , they can also ask something like this from Government. Why are they not asking it then ? Don't they know this ? If not , Why that is the case ? Also i hope some other big players in infrastructure field to follow such initiative. Atanu, Also this scheme convinces me of what you have always been talking about urban planning , converting our villages to smaller self sufficient cities. Such things do seem to have potential to solve our problems. I very much liked the idea of Tata building such great project. Here are some of the thoughts though.

Now granted, it was on the 8th or 9th floor overlooking the ocean but that didn't dampen the sticker shock.
