Is Transit Crime in Tokyo becoming more common?
0We are in the last two months of 2021, and we have seen extreme events like never before.
Much of Europe has been plagued by unprecedented floods, and frequent heavy rains in the Northeastern United States in less than two months has led to high-profile flooding on multiple occassions. Heavy rains in Japan have led to landslides in Atami, a city west of Tokyo that is an important stop on the Tokaido Shinkansen high-speed rail line.
The chip shortage has hyperinflated prices of electronics, such as graphics cards, next-gen games consoles, and Pokemon video games. Prolonged floods, power outages, and lockdowns in mainland China, as well as scalpers and congested shipping lanes, aren't helping the situation either.
Additionally, Pokemon cards and crypto have seen record-high prices. GPU scalpers have used bots to buy cards en masse while gamers get none. Even the RTX 3060's supposed "mining hash rate throttler" was defeated after NVIDIA leaked a driver that allowed for unrestricted mining hash rates.
The same is true for transit crime in Tokyo. In less than three months, there has been three separate incidents of transit crime within Tokyo Metropolis; a stabbing on the Odakyu Line in Setagaya Ward that was targeted towards women in August 2021, a sufuric acid attack in a subway station in Minato Ward later that month, and another stabbing and arson in Chofu City yesterday, a city west of the 23 wards.
I will explain whether the claim of "2021 is better than 2020" is true or not.
