And don't forget how they treat homeless folks, either

I know it's not technology, but with all those other achievements, there could be mountains of improvements

There are so few homeless in Japan that it's not really worth talking about. I have seen maybe one homeless person there.

One average sized city in the US probably has more homeless people than the entire nation of Japan.

Damn, you werent kidding! They had 3,992 homeless people in 2020. That's 0.3 per 10k. The US were at 582,462, or 17.5 in 10k in 2022.
