It's a dense suburb on the outskirts of Tokyo, just in case anyone was falling for the romantic falsehood this line was selling.
- dnh44 5y agoIt might be a dense suburb now but what was it like 40 years ago when he moved there?
- FooHentai 5y agoIn 1980? Not much different to today. The population then was 125k, today it is about 175k.
- dnh44 5y agoYeah even back then the population density is way higher than anywhere I've ever lived. However I still take issue with the original argument of: > just in case anyone was falling for the romantic falsehood this line was selling. I don't think it's misrepresented anything. The original comment in the article is: >Narashino, a small town in the largely rural Chiba Prefecture Whatever it's population density is, 175k people is still a small town.
- CRConrad 5y agoEverything is relative. To me, and a lot of people I know who grew up in small towns, 175,000 people certainly isn't "small".
- anonymoushn 5y agoPalo Alto, a small town in the largely rural Santa Clara County, etc.
- distantaidenn 5y agoI used to live in Narashino a little over a decade ago. By no means rural, but definitely a small town compared to one of the Tokyo wards. Also, I wouldn't call it dense at all -- granted, I haven't look at the people/sqm metrics.
