Tokyo would like to say hello. IIRC, it’s the only place in Japan with a net population growth, largely due to people moving in for work.
The situation is dire elsewhere because many people are taking completely absurd and/or selfish stances on development in their locale.
- mycologos 2y agoMy theory for Tokyo is that its relatively low housing costs come from lax enforcement of zoning and building regulations, and lax enforcement comes from a culture of trust that doesn't exist in other comparably big cities.
