Yes, of course. Because it's absolutely fair to compare prices in a city in a first-world country to ones in third-world countries, based on population density alone. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that approach.

But as long as we're staring intently at the bark on the trees, you should tell me: how much more expensive is co-working space in Mumbai than in rural India? Do you get a discount if you bring your own water?



The link includes the two US cities in the top 20, and neither of them is SF. And while density calculation is complicated, on any metric SF is way less dense than NY.

And since you ask, the "unlimited" package at this rather swish coworking facility in Mumbai runs Rs.9000, or about $100, per month.

I like how you both disregarded my sarcasm, yet simultaneously ignored the substance of the sarcastic question: is it more or less expensive to rent space in Mumbai than in rural India? By what factor?

I'm not an expert on India, but I'm guessing it's a tad more expensive.
