Bengaluru rent hike sparks debate over salaries in two eras

Bengaluru's rising rents have sparked a Reddit debate over salaries and housing costs. One user said private-sector salaries seem stuck in 2006, but Bengaluru rent is living in 2046 with landlords demanding ₹22,000-24,000 for some 1 BHK homes, with deposits of around ₹1.5 lakh. Other users pointed to the growing gap between annual salary increments and increases in rent.
