Re: They are going to close my town
There are only 12 households left. This is a rural mountain village. Most of the peole here are very old. In fact, I'm the youngest left here. Its kind of sad but inevitable. They are consolidating these small communities to bigger places. You can stay if you want but there will be no more electricity, water, road care, etc. People get a little money to move, so I accepted.

Slowly the plants will be reclaim the site. It will be covered in green slowly, an abandoned and forgotten town. Most of the buildings are made poorly and will collapse in a few years. It is a sad and beautiful thing to think about.

Why won't there be electricity or water? Usually you can get electricity from the local utility company for a one time fee and water from neighboring counties.

The Japanese have the lowest birth rate in the world.

The population is old, this will continue to happen.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40292304


yep, too many women focused on empty jobs, living the hello kitty dream, and never having a family.

As a broad generalization, japanese women are so immature they make americans look stoic and grounded.

But some People return to the Countryside
here in Japan, not as many as in Europe
but we have also People who are tired, really tired
about all the Hassle in the Cities and Megatropolises!

The Mountains here are very sharp and there is not much
Space in between for Farming, this make it very

Re: They are going to close my town
"Bubble Time Ruins" are very expensive Hotels
and Resorts build in the Bubble Time and
run out of Money in the decade after,
there are so many here around Tokyo!

Until the middle of the Eighties nearly every
Japanese stayed in Japan for their Holidays
and going to Hawaii, Guam or Bali was very expensive,
so they build big Hotels which are empty since years!

Actually we have a Ruin Culture, many People, incl. me,
love to visit such Places!

There are a few Web Sites up for more Info,
look for the Pink Tentacle or Rocket-News!

in the U.S. this is called 'encouraging cluster community growth'.

no joke.

it's a UN action that continually is working in the shadows to motivate people to move from rural areas to what has already been designated as a 'cluster community'.

Cluster communities are small cities that are in semi-rural areas.

I wouldn't doubt that Japan is merely trying to herd the sheep into tight areas so they can control them.

The UN's goal IN THEIR CHARTER is to REDUCE THE WORLD POPULATION TO 500 MILLION PEOPLE.

they can't do that until they get everyone herded in for the culling.

Re: They are going to close my town
That's too bad. I visited some family in an old rust-belt Pennsylvania town not too long ago and the same process is happening there. Main street is all shuttered and broken down. The biggest advertisers in town are the funeral homes, yeesh. A long, slow decline is in progress.

Expensive, no not really, if these services were already established to me it sounds more like the start of the UN’s Agenda 21 plan to herd and corral the masses into certain areas,

^^^^^ this
It's not a theory. Pretty sure this is a well documented goal of socialists / communists. Think about that. What IS a commune? People living together closely and sharing all the work and food, etc. But one of the main reasons for close living quarters is not necessarily control, but disease. The more closely people live, the more quickly nasty germs are spread. Look it up.

Re: They are going to close my town
UN Agenda 21 at play. Moving you from remote rural areas to the city where they can house you in large apartments with greater population densities. The rest of the countryside will be left as ecological sustainable areas and human activity is restricted.

If you get bought out, you can't buy back in, and there's going to be HUGE restrictions on buying rural land in the future. Most are turned into ecological rehabilitation zones.

EDIT: I notice that the some people are also mentioning this; good job team, at least we're making dots connect today :)

OH and P.S. anything to do with environmental sustainability (including that phrase) is related to Agenda 21, do your own research and you'll conclude the same.
