I'm from Europe and can't imagine housing being affordable anywhere in the world besides the places where people feel happy living in stick&mud huts.
> Impressive that you are willing to jump to "defund the japanese police" despite not even knowing that housing is not a problem in Japan by any stretch of the imagination.
Because that's sort of a figurative expression. Housing problem is just a random pick relatively relevant to the most of the developed countries. Pick any other problem which could use some additional resources allocated instead if it's not the case for Japan. It probably still has some, hasn't it?
