RE: What New & “Affordable” Housing Looks Like in Japan!

Looks more like an apartment...

I'm ok with the small space, though that bathroom looks uncomfortably small, but the closeness to the neighbors and the lack of a decent view would be big negatives for me if I were in the housing market. Also the lack of a garden. But I know this is how the market is moving. Same in Okazaki. I watch old houses knocked down and in their place 2-4 of these tiny things built right next to each other spring up.

I hope this trend reverses in the future.
