Most of the hot spots in other places I've visited outside of Japan have gone that way too. You have to get really far off the beaten path now to find anything genuine.

Visa can get declined pretty easy if they think you're using it to avoid paying japanese income tax or using it as a remote work location.
Theoretically you can stay on two 3mnth visa per year. But reality is they cut you off if you do that then start getting declined.
So really the only choice is to apply for Japanese citizenship and hope the IRS doesn't double tax you(because they're allowed to do that unless you revoke citizenship I think)

I know people that haven't been in the states for multiple decades that still pay income tax to the IRS.

>>3584What I mean is say you live in Japan. You've lived there for say 30+ years. Let's say you don't remember living in the states at all but are deemed a citizen because you were born there and your parents moved out 6 months later as soon as it was possible to travel with an infant.
Since you're a US citizen you owe the IRS income taxes _in addition_ to whatever income taxes Japan takes out of your yearly income. 100k isn't high income anymore either. It's like the basic income you have to make now to live above poverty level.
>>3591>>3590That's income taxes only. Where taxes really screw you is things like property tax. Which have been skyrocketing where I live for the last 10 years. We're on the threshold of losing our property if they continue. If the local town weasels their way into moving their city limit we're screwed. Our property tax will double because we have to pay it to the county and the town in that case.
They've already that line twice in the last 15 years. We keep voting it down and they keep moving it anyway. Used to be 5 miles away. Now it's 2 miles away.
They're really sneaky with it too. Holding votes and meetings without telling us. They screwed over a bunch of people that built large homes in a housing development. That community was outside of the town limits when it was zoned. The residents paid a ton of money to run their own utilities, water and sewage lines because the county doesn't do that for free here (most houses outside of townships have septic tanks and wells). They paid I think about $100k as a group to have cable run there too.
Well a few years after they finally pay for all that and have it installed and finished building their homes the town moved the line just past their community. Forced them to disconnect their own water supply and hook up to the town's sewer. Made them pay a huge fine too because what they'd installed themselves wasn't compliant and the systems required modifications to work with the town's. Residents were pissed. They got fined every day for months while reaching an agreement with the town. They didn't want to use the town's water because their own supply was better (very large well and they didn't fluoridate). In the end the town got to state to come in and bully them into submission. They were all at risk of losing their homes which most had dumped their life savings into. They finally gave up. So now they pay double taxes on property+homes every year.
We don't even own that much land compared to some around here and our property tax increased $2k from last year. It'll go up another $5-10k if the town moves that line. We can't afford it. The one building we have zoned for commercial use had property tax massively increased on it as well.
My greater point: You can't go by stats. Rich people are _supposed_ to be paying in taxes but they aren't. They all use LLCs and other methods to avoid paying them all together. The only people paying in are the working poor.
Furthermore it's a huge scam anyway because the paper is worthless. All they do is use the paper money they print to steal property and real value from the working poor. I don't expect my family will own anything in another 10-20 years the way things are going nor will any of my neighbors. We don't really own anything as it stands because one missed tax payment or insurance payment means the state can come in and seize everything. If I try to defend it (as I should) the media will say I'm a crazy person and the state's police force will come and murder me.
If I'd known what I know now when I was a teenager I would have gotten the hell out of here as soon as possible and renounced US citizenship long ago. But I was loyal to my family and as usual having loyalty screws you over every time.
My ideal situation would be getting out and setting up shop somewhere in SEA (or Japan I guess) then declaring myself stateless. That puts you in a limbo where no country will take you in but the country you in can't deport you. Seems like the ideal way to go because you aren't forced to pay taxes at all. Only downside is you can't legally work but legally working is a huge scam anyway and I've been working under the table for years now. So it'd be an improvement for me personally.
No.3598
>>3594Property taxes are generally based on the value of the property which is based on supply and demand and many western nations don't build enough houses so the demand is high and the supply is low.
We had the area around our town re zoned too, it used to be a nice town of about 12,000 people. The council held a vote to rezone farm land, the vote failed, the state government then stepped in and forced it through anyway and 10 years later we are over 24,000 and growing. It's annoying.
Also property tax hit's the rich too just so you know.
But anyway. Richer people hold more in wealth and earn more from wealth compared to poor people so the majority of the taxation that could be gotten from the poor would be on their income not their properties. Also look at the numbers again.
The top 1% pay more in tax than the bottom 50% even earn. You literally cannot tax the bottom 50% enough to even make up for the income tax on the top 1%. they physically cannot pay it.
The stats are the stats and they come from the UK government, Of course the rich try to evade taxes as much as they can so it's possibly they should pay an even higher portion compared to what they are but even in the case that you assume they are evading taxes on mass, again they are still paying more in tax than the bottom 50% even make at all.

>>3650On your list, the only one that even compares to Tokyo is NYC and admittedly, NYC is a place with many issues, not the least of which is being part of the US.
Paris is famously shit and has been for a very long time, the same goes for London.
I recommend Vienna.

Most if not every city has a good part and bad part of town. Tokyo's good part is uncharacteristically large from what I hear. Well, at least according to tourists. People generally don't go visiting the bad parts of any town. There's also 14 million of them so it would be impossible to see all of it.

>>3647What about in comparison to other Japanese cities? Most of the smaller ones feel way more livable to me than Tokyo. Even Osaka has somewhat of a nicer vibe. Tokyo just feels like the end result of trying to cram as many people together as is humanly possible... more successfully than in some other megacities, sure, but it's still far from pleasant IMO.
No.3657
>>3656Not that anon, but Tokyo is special.
If you have spent a lot of time in Tokyo, you'll instantly understand. There's something unique to Tokyo that you're not getting in Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya or Fukuoka. Kyoto has its own sort of magic, but it's very different.

>>3650I don't think any of those cities have particularly good reputations...
But I don't want to live in a city either. Too much noise and too many people.

>>3657Wandering around the non-Akiba parts of Tokyo today, the main thing that stood out to me was how 'fashionable' everyone seemed. It's Kyoto I'm more familiar with, and people there dress much plainer, and likewise in my own country.
It's cool to see, but it does make me feel a bit like an unwashed hobo by comparison.

Love hotels aren't bad as a room. You get lots of space and decent amenities. A clean room and not that expensive.
You pretty much don't need to deal with anyone and can pay in cash. No passport scans or anything because it's not a hotel in function or they just don't gey regulated
But the smell of smoke is very overpowering.
You're locked into the room until you checkout.
The interest in being in one tires very fast if the decor is simple along with the above.

Bored of the JAV flick. I'll probably get charged 100 dollars for watching it. Don't see any hentai but it's got a large selection of sfw tv as well like the sonic movie and 24 episodes of "boku bo tonari ni". Also the zombie idol anime and some others.

>>3824What are people doing in a love hotel that needs that much empty floor space?
If normal hotel rooms in Tokyo already often barely have enough space for more than a bed, toilet and shower, you'd think that would be even more so the case with one intended primarily for fucking.
No.3829
>>3828I think it has something to do with the idealism of the American utopia where everyone has a mansion conflicting with the reality of how Japan has basically zero space.
But then why is my 3 star hotel so small but this one so big... Doesn't really make sense but this hotel only has 24 rooms so maybe that's related
