Make it a Commercial Complex, so many conditions and so few foreign students will hardly attract investors.

sounds like a backhanded excuse to kick all the foreigners out and let somebody else figure out how to house them.

This has less to do with "xenophobism" or the usual litany of reasons against Japanese culture and more a reason of simple economics. This building is old and in need of serious maintenance and upgrade, and its original purpose was not to house foreign students. The sale of this building to a private company is contingent on it remaining housing for foreign students, not kicking them out to the curb.

"The facility with substandard quake resistance needs either rebuilding or major renovation." Sell the Aneha designed piece of crap to the gaijins.

Yay! Sell the "substandard quake resistant" building to a company that guarantees foreigners can stay there. Even the homeless living under Hakusan-Dori have a quake-resistant roof over their heads. I better never hear about the "substandard" quality of English teachers in Japan again. You get what you pay for.
