Can't the federal government step in and do something to get this thing done on schedule? I know eminent domain can be used in the case of privately-owned land, but what if the land is prefecturally owned?

Posted in: Japanese gov't to submit bill to introduce joint custody after divorce See in context

So many things in Japan are wishy-washy like this.
