Tokyo government organizes food truck event to clear out delinquent/homeless teen gathering area in Shinjuku

1. They don’t seem to be very effective cleaning up that dump. It looked exactly like this 20 years ago except for that new tourist bait tower.

2. Why do they have a meeting place like that anyway? Doesn’t it make them easier to find, for someone who might want to take advantage of them or something?

3. There are events all the time there. As usual soranews makes up a story rather than simply reporting on the food truck event that will have no effect on all the runaway kids.

4. Doing literally anything except solving the cause of the problem.

5. So, Sanseito gathered most of their Shinjuku votes thru Kabukicho, they are not so much popular outside the red light area.

   I remember last year July they even promised to let the Toyoko kids just be, to not clean up the area they are using.

   I wonder how they will be seen after that truck.

6. There were so many cops and security out there last night. Not gonna fix no problems though.

7. Meanwhile France offers micro tents to its homeless immigrants to keep them in the street and arrests people who try to feed them.

8. I thought it was just those oji-sans with their cans of Asahi now?
