Tokyo’s homeless — ‘Just do ‘em!’
Friend of 3Yen and international man of mystery, “Mulboyne” tweeted about the government’s, “plans for the new Miyashita Nike Park in Shibuya,” which is just a two-birds-with-one-stone plan to wipe out the homeless in the park while cashing-in on Nike’s deep pockets.
Younger homeless people have gathered in Miyashita Park in Shibuya since the collapse of Japan’s Bubble Economy in the early ’90s and the following Lost Decade that has lasted for almost 20 years. In addition the park has been the staging area for Tokyo protests, which has motivated Tokyo’s arch conservative government to “Just Do It” and redevelop the intentionally neglected park.

Full Disclosure:
My family runs a non-profit Dignity Diner in Chicago (sort of upscale soup kitchen for the homeless) , and your thoughtless anti-homeless trolling here in the Comments section are not going to gain you any Karma (unless they are really funny).

Sadly, the mayor of Tokyo, Governor Assmuncher Ishiha doesn’t care about the national election and the demise of the LDP. He is a cult-of-personality candidate and Tokyo people LOOOOVE his xenophobic policies and comments (because he says what they all believe).
