That just increases rental prices (making buying more attractive, but that’s not an option for many people, and also supply is constrained).

I think the best is just to not allow buying a home for the purpose of renting it out. If you want to rent out a property, sure, but you need to build one first.

The idea of a relationship that lasts until you die is not for everyone. Sure you can get married and divorced, but the latter can be a huge hassle.

Why?! On my last Japan trip I visited many izakayas. Great food, friendly people, nice vibes. Yes you have to use Google Translate and still you have no idea what you’re ordering (or sometimes there isn’t really a menu), but who cares, everything is delicious anyway.
