Because I really don't like huge cities at all. I find it funny that Chileans consider Santiago to be a huge city at about 5 million pop. I flew in to Atlanta this morning just before sunrise and had a great view of the "city" in lights and all I could think of was how tiny it is compared to Tokyo. Harvey your postcard was in the pile of mail when I got home!!! It now has exclusive refrigerator space. Thank you for thinking of me - I've never had a postcard from India!

There should be some projects aimed at reviving medium-sized cities in an effort to spread out the dense population, and this may, in effect, inspire more to have children. (After all, the living cost in Sendai is cheaper than Tokyo, making the possibilty of raising a child more affordable) I think one temporary answer would be a campaign to disillusion people from the fantasy that living in Tokyo or Osaka is the only way to be successful and lead a high-class lifestyle.
