Granite

 People often take things "for granite" when they should be taking them for granted--an annoying grammar mistake.
But here's a city where "granite" might make more sense.
 In Bangalore, there are so many granite mines, that a regular sized slab of granite is less than $10.
People use granite for sidewalks, houses, fences--all over the place.
In other locations, granite is a more precious commodity and much more costly. 
But not here.
Here they can take it for granite...

...granted, I mean.
