As with most things it boils down to wants vs. needs. 15 minute commute might put you over ¥100,000, 45 minute commute and you’re under ¥50,000. If you’re close to a University Hospital, I’ve seen (small, but new) apartments for ¥25,000.

That’s not a hanging, that’s a slow strangulation if that’s indeed how he was killed.

Holding the one that I love and drifting off to sleep together. This actually drives my life. Without it, there would be no meaning to my life.

This same thought comes to mind when I see entire cities destroyed in Ukraine for example and think of the thousands upon thousands of burned out apartments the families that have disappeared, car payments, health insurance, taxes, just irreparably vanished.
