  rest of Tokio is mostly intact

  and housing becomes much more accessible too when buildings are intact but their inhabitants have much shorter lives because of radiation

      “Eventually” might be a long time with radiation.

      20 years after the Chernobyl disaster the level of radiation was still high enough to give you a good chance of cancer if you went to live there for a few years.

      I don’t know how much radiation these “tactical” weapons release, but if it’s comparable to Chernobyl, even if the buildings were not originally damaged, I don’t know how fit they would be for living after being abandoned for 30 or 40 years.
