I'm not familiar with the process, but I believe it is the same process as with my car, and the insurance company gets paid for the repairs, and you are responsible for any shortfall. It depends on the terms of the lease, so ask before you rent.

My husband has decided to stay in Japan.
Since our child is small, my child and I are planning to come to the U.S. together for now, but
considering our child's higher education, I am wondering if it is better for me and my child to live in Japan
if we are going to return to Japan someday.

I would appreciate your advice.

It's a very difficult question, isn't it? If you are preparing to take an entrance exam in Japan, I think it would be better for you to stay in Japan.
Some people say, "They are children and they will learn English quickly," but I think you should be prepared that it will still take some effort and parents will have to help their children with their homework.

I was surprised to find that many local schools present from elementary school. The teachers are kind and supportive, but I still think the kids have a hard time at school. As a parent, I would like to do something for them, but I have no idea what to do when I look at the local school's homework.

I was elected to DV Lotteries and my family is planning to move to Texas. Texas is more than twice the size of Japan, and is so large, from hot year-round to snowy, that we are not sure where to settle. I know that Plano is popular among Japanese and many Japanese have moved there from California. Is it still easy to live in Plano ？?

Since the Toyota headquarters moved from Torrance to Dallas, many families from California have moved here. There are several large Asian supermarkets in Plaino and medical facilities in hospitals and clinics. The sky is nice and wide and blue, even more so than California, and there is a lot of greenery, so it's very relaxing.
I have to go back to Japan for some business, but I can't wait to get back.

A friend of mine said that buying property in Texas is cheap, but the taxes are higher than in other states. Is this true ？
Total, is property in Texas a good deal ？?

Are the above people writing from some other state ？
Texas has no income tax. I would much rather have no income tax than property tax, etc.
Property taxes are determined by city and district, not state. It also depends on the size of the property and the building coverage of the house. All districts with high property tax rates are upscale residential areas, and in the case of Texas, many of them are historic buildings. If you come from Japan, you would be surprised at how large the lots are and the houses are as big as castles.
The districts with low property taxes are where blacks, Hispanics, and other low-income people live as renters. If you are worried about property tax, you should buy a small house in Houston area or rent a house.

Also, if you have lived in the US long enough to consider buying a house, you know that property taxes here are used for sanitation and schooling in the area, so the areas with high property taxes are very clean, safe and the schools are all progressive.
