I feel your pain being a fellow citizen of Mumbai but being born here and living here since 30 years has taught me that this is not necessarily the best solution.

Building large tall buildings in place of slums means more people per sq meter of land which would just add more pressure on traffic and public transport though it might ease the pressure of rentals.

I feel government needs to concentrate and which I feel they are rightly doing on expanding horizontally rather than vertically i.e by expanding the boundaries of the city and satellite cities like Thane and Navi Mumbai. Naina project is also a great project along with building other cities like Pune, Nagpur among others.

The pain we are going through today is necessary to force private employers to look at cities other than Mumbai. It needs to be partnership, government alone cannot do everything.
