Cheap or Expensive?

Mumbai is overcrowded with a population between 18-20 million people. The city is aware of it and is trying to take some measures. Our school has recently reached their maximum capacity of students. They are looking into expanding mentioning how businesses pay for air space as well as land space. Apparently the school has already reached its maximum height for its structure. There is a 1.5 acre land in front of us, the only problem…. It is worth 125 million dollars!! According to someone, to build a school in Mumbai costs more than building a business in Tribeca, NY.

Talk is our school pays $3000 monthly for our rent. Our apartment is nice, but you could definitely get a better place in Ecuador or even Switzerland for that price! It's a good thing the school pays for our expensive costs while we pay for the cheap way of living :)
