>>1 Japan is currently short of manpower and relies on foreigners, so they can’t allocate resources to Ishikawa It’s not realistic to spend a lot of money to invite foreigners to rebuild the area If the people of Ishikawa were to move there and work, it would kill two birds with one stone The government should make a manual and present it to the public.
The roads aren’t even paved, and the gutters and levees aren’t even repaired, so of course this is what happens lol. I think Noto is like this every year.
People are talking about temporary housing, but the people in those facilities were saved, right? Temporary housing is temporary, so it’s easy to rebuild it again. More importantly, the safety of the 20 people in the tunnel is important.
If it’s within Ishikawa Prefecture, they should relocate en masse to Kanazawa City or Komatsu City, or ask other prefectures to relocate en masse. Life is more important than not wanting to leave your hometown.
The Liberal Democratic Party won’t help rural areas because tax revenues are low, and they value turning their primary budget into a surplus more than they value the lives of their citizens.
