Well, "new" as in over the last 20 years, not too long on the Japanese time scale. You obviously have strong feelings about this, but can you expand a bit more

Well, "new" as in over the last 20 years, not too long on the Japanese time scale.
You obviously have strong feelings about this, but can you expand a bit more on who exactly the "victims" here are? I'll readily admit I haven't been in the area for a long time, but my understanding is that the Niseko boom largely involves the construction of net new housing (Swiss-style chalet apartments etc), since the Australian/Chinese jet set fueling it is not particularly interested in typical cramped and disposable Japanese-style housing.
