I have a very simple question:
Would you live in this area of Roppongi or would you opt for the quieter areas of Azabu or Hiroo?
Sure, if you like being hounded every day on your way to the station by the LivePerson equivalent of the 419 scam. If I were to live in the Roppongi area, I'd live on the other side, the Akasaka/Nogizaka side, further down the slope towards Nishi Azabu, or behind Roppongi Hills in Moto Azabu or Azabu Juban.
