Thousands of homes were also destroyed by the tsunami........coincidence?
Tens of thousands of homes near the coast were damaged by the tsunami. Tens of thousands of homes were damaged by the earthquake. They will have to be repaired/rebuilt.
But because of Fukushima, thousands of intact homes have been evacuated until the danger has minimized. I believe that some of them may be re-occupied sometime this decade. Most will be ready for immediate re-occupancy.
