Honestly, that's a pretty nice single wide.
No shade on folks who live in trailers. Dat poverty trap 😭
I mean, growing up in a trailer at one point, it was bigger than your average NY apartment. Certainly more land. We goats and a whole wooded area.
5x the space of the average Japanese household and 1/10th the price
Kreigers retirement home.
My cherry blossoms are wilting
We will talk about it in the van!
Exit: Van Left
No. You get the shed. Put these glasses on.
Reminds me of commiting to the simulation in superhot VR. I legit had to pull of the headset and make sure it was just a game first.
Christ that's dark, I love it
Took me a while to see the rope.
Damn I'm not stable enough to just get jumpscared by an image like that out of nowhere
Oh, my b. Thought it was just funny.
Something's fucky.
Does Japan not have any crappy areas?
We do, but most of them have something within cycling distance that isn't on an 70+ kph road with maniacs (and the closer to civilization, they have public transit).
Well there’s Johnson Town in Saitama.
Why is there a sign saying "blue corn" in English there? And why is it called "Johnson Town"?

It was an old US airbase town
Looks like an American suburb but without yard space.
So like a normal suburb from before 1920....
That doesn't look bad.
It’s old American military officer housing, rented out as low income housing for several decades, then after it accidentally lasted long enough to appeal to locals, it was refurbed into a kitschy/artsy commercial area to indulge in Americana through a Japanese lens.
It looks like America, so ehhhh
Not a single mcmansion in sight! Not even enough yard to have a ride on mower??? Horrors!
It's mostly crappy areas. Outside the urban centers, they refuse to invest in infrastructure. So everyone flees to the city center, which produces slums, and then everything except the high income areas kinda suck.
We have a lot of good infrastructure in my village and I'm pretty rural (depending upon how big 'urban center' is in your definition, I'm between 20 and 45 minutes away by train).
A lot of the countryside that is depopulating is quite ugly, but there is no money to invest in that infrastructure when almost the whole population is pensioners. It's a chicken-and-egg problem to be sure. I think the government needs to do more to get people out of the megalopolises. My area has campaigns that use our tax money to pay people to move here as well as subsidizing preschool and kindergarten.
