>Housing in Tokyo is not that expensive.

As compared to what? Commercial property in Manhattan?

Oh Tokyo
They got some sake and sashimi and some clean sheets
Oh Kimono, Kimono

Tokyo’s the town that I love the best,
East may be East, and West may be West,
Forget about between, it’ll drive you insane,
And teach you things you never knew before.

There’s no diversity.

Have you ever been there? It is one of the places interesting to visit, but I would not live there for anything. Mass of humanity, tiny houses, noise. Crazy road layout. Total mess! A lot worse than NY!
And, due to US bombardment in WWII, there are not even any historical places there to see. Kyoto is a lot more interesting place to visit in Japan!

Why it works?

Homogenous and high IQ. No other reasons.

A racially and culturally homogeneous city is not that hard to run well.

Tokyo is such a sprawling metropolis that the outskirts are not particularly urban, and don’t have living costs like that of, say, Shinjuku or Shibuya. It would be like measuring the cost of living in NYC by Dobbs Ferry as opposed to the Upper West Side.

Japan has a secret weapon—Japanese people.

The “experts” say “diversity is strength”.

The “experts” are 100% wrong.

Tokyo is Exhibit 1.

one reason being the high cost of fuel

How much does it cost? Most places crying about high prices of gas have the government charging 80% in taxes, so the real high cost is of government.

They live like ants in a anthill, they have a homogeneous society with no giant urban black violent crime-ridden underclass. They control immigration. They have a work ethic.

But yeah, it’s because of no cars.

An apartment on the moon?
