        The street is human scale and the power lines aren't all buried in the extremely earthquake prone ground, how awful

        And the earthquakes that happen every week or so are much less likely to damage those lines

          I don't think this is true? Surely not? Tokyo has underground railway and that's fine.

      I'm guessing Japanese has a term for the process by which small towns and exurbs got absorbed into Tokyo, the word roughly translates to gentrify, but it doesn't quite work.

          Always my first assumption when I see something very goofy written by a person who isn't speaking their native tongue lol.

    That’s ‘failed to gentrify’?

    That is what a gentrified street in my city looks like lmao

      Yeah. Not to be all "X, Japan", but I have to imagine the roughest neighborhood in Tokyo is still walkable, populated, accessible to transit, not a food desert, etc.

        No, every street corner in Tokyo has street fights where people do pro wrestling moves, hit each other with bicycles, and roll bowling balls at each other's feet, according to the most realistic video game ever made.

    Is that supposed to look bad? It's a very clean city street, decent houses on the side, I don't see what I'm supposed to complain about?
