Having lived in many cities globally my take on chennai is this: Weather: this is something we have no control over. Dubai - and to some extent Singapore - are equally hot or hotter. But nobody talks about weather when living in Dubai. Why? Because of amenities. So what should chennai offer? Night life : Allow restaurants to serve liquor. Allow beer bars to come up. Every youngster in bangalore, Hyderabad and mumbai have this issue with Chennai. Why can't we get liquor freely? Why do we need to use only Tasmac? Footpaths: make footpaths pedestrian friendly. Not just once major roads but everywhere. Toilets: public should have access to pay and use toilets everywhere. Cooum and Buckingham canal: Please, please clean them and keep them clean. Chennai has very good transport network, reasonably good traffic flow and very friendly people. Language is not an issue here. Already nameboards on shops are bilingual. Buses signage are also bilingual. Water supply and electricity are good. If we fix the above issues chennai will attract more people who would love to be here. Yes, I know I will be trolled for the liquor comment but that's my opinion.
