We don't want to go to an unsafe place. Instead of the relocation, the Tsukiji market should be redeveloped.

I agree ! It has it's "history" where it is now. It really does need refurbishing but instead of "moving to a new place" (if there isn't enough "space" on the ground) build a couple of "floors" on top of it.

Could not agree more! Just go with the original plan years ago before that idiot Ishihara got involved and derailed a perfectly sensible "upgrade in place" plan with his "let us make loads of yen off kicking out the wholesale market and building a huge condo-depaato for my concrete construction buddies" plot. Just renovate in place, aka, Tokyo eki. No one will trust fish etc. with a "Toyosu market" label, and why should they?
