The construction site of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC)'s new factory in Kikuyo, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, on Tuesday, May 9, 2023. The flood of investment and the influx of workers in semiconductor-related subsidies are overwhelming Kikuyo, the farm town of 43,000, causing chronic gridlock, shortages in housing and services and stretching commute times to the chip industrial park to 90 minutes or more.
