I don't think I would want to live in Japan.  It's going well here, and my professional license is tied to California, so that pretty much dictates where we
will be.

I read the article.  Like many expatriates, it seems like they are seeking affirmation that they made the right choice.  I don't think anyone would agree that
living in a random abandoned house in that part of Japan is an improvement over almost any major urban area of the U.S., unless you're from Detroit, I guess.  I
have to factor in my drastic decrease in earnings if I move anywhere out of my primary area.  The economics do not make sense unless I'm in the Bay Area or L.A.
