Kaminoge is in Setagaya-ku.

I think Ota-ku has really good benefits for those who have bred
because there
aren't a whole lot of kids in Ota-ku and they are trying to bring in
the younger
generation.

Setagaya-ku is going to be having some problems with school
overcrowding once
all those tower mansions get finished in Futakotamagawa.  There won't
be enough
kindergarten/elementary schools to deal with all those people that
think they have
made it by living in Futakotamagawa.  It's also going to make my
commute a lot
worse.
