Why is everything so damn costly !!!

Been to nagpur the first time for my sisters job joining thinking it of a calm peaceful city with a decent cost of living but my mind was blown just by the sheer amount of charges hotels charge per night in and around trimurti nagar near VIPL cant even find a single hotel which provides a room for a 3 mem family under 1k per night no ac no geyser no nothing still charged 1800 for less than 12 hrs dude i can get a room with great facilities at 1800 per night both at my hometown and hyderabad as well And as a cherry on the top a hostel/pg for my sister costed 8k per month without food and a shared washroom for 8 people i live off in a 2 sharing pg in hyderabad at 8.5k luxuriously. I was literally shell shocked even by the street food prices around the IT Area. Now we have to think twice about the budget when we want to visit her. Anyone who like to weigh in some suggestions please do i appreciate any leads on some accomodation/hotel details as we will be visiting atleast once per month
