  1. Foreclosures are hard to secure because they go to various auctions.

     

    Houses here are about 170000 US to 350000 US$ depending on location. Because Hakuba doesn't make apartments, the net isn't flooded with information. In all seriousness when you see the flashiest ads for potential properties, they are usually apartments. A good house sells itself an apartment needs to sell the image and easiness of life.

     

    Most major property builders in Niseko are able to turn a profit before they build anything. They sell many of the units and secure the financing. This is what usual resort hotels do these days.

     

    You cant make apartments in Hakuba and sub divide them like Niseko.

    Thus you have a trickle of houses that hit the market. So the websites dont need to be as flashy.

  2. I depends on your Vegan. I know plenty that eat fish. It is economics which you arent factoring into your theory. Farmings biggest bread winner at the moment is corn. IF you are a farmer being forced out the meat industry what would you plant. I sure as heck would plant corn. The soy bean price has risen because farmers are moving to corn. corn production is increasing to produce mostly fuel not food.

    A good read on where farming is going. better to grow your own food at the moment. If you are growing your own food then your carbon foot print is lower than a person depending on food to be imported to the city. You are coming up with a very simple answer that really has a big domino effect.

     

    I for one hardly use a car besides for work. That will change next year.

    I try to burn dead wood for firewood and wood stoves

    I dont eat much fish. if you cut out lunch I eat it 10 times a year.

    I eat 4 plates of meat per week and 3 veg meals.

    I dont liter

    I grow my own food for 4+ months of the year. I was eating zucchinis everyday for 2 months... (yummy)

    I make and freeze my own tomatoes and Im enjoying my sun pickles everyday after work.

  3. China will back Russia in the end or just stay out of it. They have already given lukewarm assurances. China also needs oil and keeping Russia happy is important. America is a superpower with rapidly declining resources. Russia is a super power that finally has the money to tap the resources it has.
