    What the hell is “failed to gentrify” supposed to mean?

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

      it is possible to work on the internet and power lines without digging up the sidewalk

        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.

      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.

        Women here want to stay feminine

        What he really means is:

        Men want to continue treating women like shit and they are too afraid to speak up because doing so could not only get them fired/blacklisted/etc. but also make them targets of male violence.
