My friend lives in a so-called “mammoth housing complex” that was built during the high economic growth period of the 1970s, and which accommodates about 100 households.
A plan is afoot to build a large condominium in an area clustered with 40-year-old housing buildings, but many of the old apartments’ residents, especially the elderly people, are troubled by the plan. This is because they are concerned about the change in the landscape and environment of their familiar neighborhood and, especially, how the large influx of people from other areas would affect their area. The developer is expected to provide detailed explanations and respond to the concern of the current residents.— Jreibun
