So what if their population is in decline? It'll just pick back up when there is plenty of space.

So given the insane number of abandoned houses, villages and towns, how do you explain the continued decline is there is "plenty of space"?

You need space in areas with good economic opportunities. Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, etc.

Correct. Not enough affordable space and resources.

There is plenty of space in Tokyo and Osaka, what are you actually on about?
