The Wider Image: Some Mumbai residents risk safety for affordable, central housing
Residents stand in the corridors outside their homes at the Worli dairy quarters building in Mumbai, India, August 2, 2023. This building complex, situated amid luxury towers and expansive villas of Mumbai's most exclusive postcode, exemplifies the price some middle-class employees are willing to pay for a home in one of the world's most expensive property markets. "It's dangerous, especially with parents and children," added resident Sumit Shinde. "But it's not possible for me, or any middle class family, to purchase a new home in Mumbai. It's very expensive."
