30 million people in the Tokyo area would like to disagree with you, myself included. Why do you think those beautiful historical houses are laying there empty?



Because people are forced to move closer to urban centers by economic forces. Nobody seriously tried to incentivize job creation outside of Downtowns.


I can tell you for a fact that I did not move to Tokyo because I was forced to by economic forces, I chose to move there out of my own accord despite being fully location independent. Just because you hate cities doesn’t mean everyone else does.
