Housing isn’t a great investment but for most people, it’s the best investment they will ever make because it’s the only asset they will leave alone and let compound for 10, 20, 30 years.

Places/Place to live​

Where on Earth Will People Live in the Future? | Parag Khanna | TED

20-30 degrees Celsius with no humidity throughout year i.e dry climate

Elevation / Altitude​

One of the factor is Elevation

  • 500 mtr+ is good weather like bangalore (964m), pune (565m), jagdalpur (570m), nainital (1990m)
  • 300 mtr is bad - delhi (246m), dantewada (370m), ramnagar (388m)

As we increase elevation, there is less air above us thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases.

As we go to higher altitudes, what happens to the temperature?

When we move up a hill, we notice a fall in temperature. This fall in temperature with elevation is primarily due to two reasons.

  1. With the increase in elevation, the atmospheric pressure falls. Fall in pressure implies that the temperature also falls (Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature and vice versa)
  2. With the increase in elevation, the concentration of greenhouse gases decreases (Water vapor and carbon dioxide fall sharply with elevation). Hence the heat absorption capacity of the atmosphere will also decrease.

Why will I NOT buy a house?

Thoughts 1​

Life is currently too dynamic to plan very super long term, so live short term happy cycles

Try to create a family life wherever noone is dependent on me, so I can be free and do whatever I want

Therefore you need a lot of money

I am an implementor -

Papa open a franchise - supermarket that is not dependent on him, but he has a place to spend time

Land living in isolation vs society flat living with people

If not delhi, can raipur, hyderbad be our place of dwelling

Buy 1 acre land Good air quality Good social security

Good infra

Low crime

Good hospitals nearby Good education Open a school Gardening for parents Close to didi jiju

Dubai is an option

Do we really want to stay in India

  • culture
  • indian people

What do I want to do

  • give back to society
  • do fundamental core research
  • solve core world problems
  • live long and healthy
  • participate in sports

Try 1st living in isolation (without needing more people or society) if it works and you are happy than move out of India

Find a purpose for your life

Live long enough so someone finds a cure to aging

For papa - find hobby For maa - find hobby

Children can be a gateway to everyone's life Start with tution, speak to mother, than to father Give best education Slowly takeover the education full time Close or tieup with other schools

Carpet Area, Built-up Area and Super Built-up Area​

Key Considerations​

  • Focus on carpet area: Prioritize the carpet area as it represents the actual usable space within the property.
  • Comparison based on carpet area: When comparing properties, rely on carpet area measurements to get a clear understanding of the usable space.
  • Understanding built-up and super built-up areas: Be cautious of these areas listed by builders, as they include additional non-usable spaces.
  • Ratio inquiry: Ask for the ratio of carpet area to built-up and super built-up areas to better understand the space distribution.
  • Cost consideration: Assess the cost per square foot of carpet area to make a more informed purchasing decision.

Difference between carpet area, built-up area, super built-up area

Buying vs Renting Home / Buy vs Rent​

People spend more on their own home, so cost of living increases

Unrecoverable cost of owning vs buying

Property Taxes, Maintenance costs, cost of capital

Take the value of the home that you are considering multiply by 5% and divide by 12

Never buy a home, don't buy a land too

  • Land is not that scarce, world has too much land (Africa is 9 times of India)
  • because house depreciates in value, but land appreciates in value
  • land is a commodity, house is a consumer good

Documents / Property Investing​

Thoughts​

  • Will you buy a 20 year old flat, what's the rate of 20 year old flat in a 20 year old society???
  • So flats area not an investment. It's a bubble that will burst
  • Same for a commercial property
  • Will you go to a 20 year old Mall??
  • Once analyse the resell market too
  • Never buy a flat in a society without living in the society on rent for atleast 6 months to a year.

Climate resilient​

World Risk Report 2022

WeltRisikoBericht - WeltRisikoIndex

Air pollution in Delhi reduces life expectancy by 10 years

Factors​

  • access to freshwater
  • availability of food
  • proximity to healthcare facilities
  • withstand extreme weather events
  • Areas that are less prone to extreme weather events, such as inland areas or regions at higher elevations, may be more resilient to climate change impacts than coastal regions or low-lying areas that are vulnerable to sea-level rise and flooding

India​

  1. The Himalayan region: This region includes states like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, which are at higher elevations and have access to freshwater sources. These areas are also less prone to extreme weather events, such as cyclones and floods, that can impact coastal regions. Additionally, these states have a strong tradition of organic farming and have relatively better healthcare facilities compared to other parts of the country.
  2. The Deccan Plateau: This region covers a large part of central and southern India, including states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. This area is relatively more stable climatically and has access to groundwater sources. The Deccan Plateau is also known for its agriculture and food production, including the cultivation of crops such as rice, wheat, and pulses.
  3. The North-Eastern region: This region includes states like Assam, Meghalaya, and Nagaland and has access to water resources such as the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers. This region is less prone to extreme weather events, although some areas are prone to landslides and floods. Additionally, the region has a high biodiversity and a rich cultural heritage.

International​

  1. Iceland, which is relatively less vulnerable to the impacts of climate change compared to many other countries. Iceland has a small population, abundant renewable energy resources, and access to freshwater. Additionally, Iceland has a strong focus on environmental conservation and sustainable practices, which have helped to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the country.
  2. Canada, which has a vast land area and diverse geography that may provide some resilience to climate change impacts. Canada has a relatively small population and abundant freshwater resources, which may be crucial as water scarcity becomes a more significant problem in other parts of the world. Additionally, Canada has taken steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and invest in renewable energy sources, which may help to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
  3. Australia, New Zealand, and certain countries in Europe such as Germany or Denmark

Land​

1 hectacre (2.47 acre) land to be self sufficient

1 acre = 4046 sq mtrs = 63.6 mtr x 63.6 mtr

A person feeding themselves a vegetarian diet would need about an acre of land a year. If they were to eat meat by raising chickens, goats and cows this would be 3 acres and above.
