The population is declining in the countryside and in small towns, not big cities such as Sapporo. Perhaps real estate values and rent are not as high as they used to be, but they are still high. Anyway, you wouldn't want to move into a building that is no longer in use. The building he is in is a dump, but now it is literally falling apart. Abandoned buildings are even worse. - Jed

Re: [Vo]:GoFundMe page set up for Mizuno
I posted some photos of the damage to Mizuno's lab and building: https://www.lenr-forum.com/forum/thread/5700-tadahiko-mizuno-earthquake-recovery-fundraiser/?postID=93165#post93165 It doesn't look so bad, but if it were bad enough to see, the instruments would be a complete write-off. They definitely do not work. Something heavy fell on the SEM and some of the others toppled over. I hope they can be fixed. Mizuno is always short of money. Always on the verge of running out. So even if he does not need every dollar, he'll make good use of what's left over. I can't imagine how he pays the rent. I think he has a special deal with the landlord. I think he told me the building used to be a disco or pachinko parlor or something. It was a wreck. Now it is a wreck with cracked concrete and beams about to fall on the ground. Look it up on Google maps street view here: 札幌市北区北12条西4丁目 1-15 スリーシステムビル6F 〒001-0012 Hokkaidō, Sapporo-shi, Kita-ku, Kita 12 Jōnishi, 4 Chome−1−15
