Controversy: 2020 Tokyo Olympics

I am Japanese and I live in rental apartment with my family. To tell the truth, me and my family are feeling stressed about next-door neighbors. Since our neighbors have started "vacation rental" for upcoming Tokyo Olympics, I often see many different foreigners going in and out whenever they like. The noise and lettering  often becomes the cause of trouble between the foreigners, but it is no more than a small fraction of the problem. It is obvious that vacation rental hosings are  inferior to hotels in terms of security. What if someone is  smuggling illegal drugs or the room next to mine can be a hideaway for terrorists! By the growing number of foreign visitors, Tokyo will meet luck of lodging which means the demand of vacation rental will rise. I want Japanese government to make strict laws for vacation rental before the Tokyo Olympics so that me, my family and the whole society can live in peace. https://uchicomi.com/senden/column/?p=1210 https://news.goo.ne.jp/a...

This is a part of a news uploaded on Youtube explaining about issues Tokyo is facing during the preparation to host the Olympic games.

Above is a word cloud created from http://www.rappler.com/sports/specials/olympics/37863-2020-olympics-candidate-cities-preview. As you can see in the image, the words "weaknesses" and "economy" are written in a relatively large font. This site explained about the strengths and weaknesses of the three candidate cities for the 2020 Olympics, and by just looking at the word cloud, it is easy to guess that each city had weak points. Economy is one of the biggest concerns for a candidate city, since many of the games don't bring much long lasting positive economic effects these days. ---------------------------- post by moe
