Strange. I thought Japan was over populated. My son stationed there and talks about how crowded it is.
"Over-populated" is leftish word.
My thoughts exactly. Where are all these new little ones going to live? Cribs in dresser drawers?
They are ingenious people. Perhaps they can create a landfill expansion to reach the coast of Mexico and they will have all the workers they need without asking the young women to give up their careers and stay home to have babies.
Japan is about the size of California and it has 1/2 of America's population. So it is quite crowded.
Japan also hates immigration. They are a homogenous society and they like it that way. No PC ideas like diversity there.
You're right. Japan is the most densely populated nation in the world.
I saw a documentary on Japan and how overcrowded it is last week. I was astounded.
Tokyo has 8 million commuters riding mass transit every day. It's where you see people who work the subway platforms pushing people into the cars like sardines.
They also have an intersection where everytime the light changes and average of 1,500 people cross the street. Yikes!
