From what I’ve seen, it looks like the young people in Japan all want to live in the cities.
There are numerous abandoned homes in the countryside.
Isn't that the case in western countries, like the USA? All the young people leaving flyover country to go to the big cities, resulting in huge homeless encampments on the streets. A young neighbor boy in his 20's left California for Texas with his girlfriend, wanting to get some land in Texas and farm it. His girlfriend dumped him, and he soon returned. I asked him why he returned? He said for the bigger money he could make in the city here (SF). Said he would make some money for a few months, and then go back and buy land. Totally deluded young people, thinking the cities will solve all their problems in a short period of time. A year later, he can't hold a job more than a week, hangs out at his dad's place while smoking pot all day. Young people are lazy, everywhere.
