As someone that's lived in Japan for 5 years, I'm surprised to see that Japan is second to last. The article mentions that "70% find it hard to learn" Japanese, which is a completely reasonable complaint, and I can understand why it motivates people to leave. But anecdotally at least, I've had a great experience living here. Many of the civil servants in Tokyo speak English, which makes getting settled pretty easy, and a lot of services have English speaking staff.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "high rises", but I don't think this is true. I live in Tokyo, inside a 10+ floor building, that's surrounded by similar buildings.
Just off the top of my head, I can think of a lot of places with multiple blocks full of high rises, such as Ginza, Shibuya, Akihabara, etc
According to the article, Binance has $580 million locked up in FTX. But I thought that Binance sold all their FTX assets, which is what trigger the original bank-run on FTX. Was Binance not able to get their money out? If so, that seems disastrous for Binance.
