Bangalore - Best Place to Live?

It was 8.30am on 26th Feb 1996 when the auto wala took the left turn onto now called Anil Kumble Circle when I had my first glimpses of famous MG Road. During my 3 year stay I loved the city and I was totally impressed by all the goodness Bangalore had to offer including good food, its beer, weather & awestruck beauty. I think those were the good old days. Bangalore has changed a lot ever since. I was totally shocked and sad to see this beautiful city in shambles when I visited last in July 2005. It has become very crowded, pollouted, arrogant, crumbling infrastructure, incidents of crimes against lonely passengers and ladies. I hate to see this beautiful city crumbling. The present government like it’s predecessors have not done enough. It takes forever to travel to work during peak hours. How can the citizens and the government let this happen? When I was contemplating my move from USA I had to put Bangalore out of my plans - I just could not accept the fact that city has become almost unlivable.

There are people who’ll disagree with me. This recent report by Indicus Analytics puts Bangalore in 1st place and calls it best place to live. I want to know if the authors of this report ever visited the cities they analyzed?
