Even the homeless in Japan live in more dignified accommodations.

Is there any evidence? In the era of deepfakes, it's hard for me to trust anything.

10 times bigger than a flat in tokyo

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I was thinking "it cant be that bad"

An article on tokyo apartment sizes and layouts

Relevant part:

Tokyo's micro-apartments are famous worldwide. Some studios are under 20 m² (215 sq ft) – indeed, over 1.4 million households in Tokyo live in homes smaller than 19.7 m² (212 sq ft)! These tiny units often feature a single multi-purpose room, a unit bath (compact modular bathroom), and a small kitchen. In extreme cases, a few tens of thousands of Tokyo residents live in spaces around 10 m² (≈107 sq ft) – essentially a single room without much extra space, measuring about 95 sq ft of usable area. Due to the high population density and limited space in large cities like Tokyo, these compact living solutions have become common, especially for many young people and single professionals.

In any case, <20 m² is the lower end of the distribution. The lower end in my country has to build favella like living places.

[–] peripheralneuropathy@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago

Ooh. 10 times more cleaning area to ignore...

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 39 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

No shade on folks who live in trailers. Dat poverty trap 😭

[–] Alatain@lemmy.world 31 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, growing up in a trailer at one point, it was bigger than your average NY apartment. Certainly more land. We goats and a whole wooded area.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

We goats

Must be difficult to type with hooves

[–] Transparent_knoll@awful.systems 11 points 8 hours ago

Probably used bleat to text.

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 2 points 7 hours ago

I was curious so I tried to find average sizes in NYC. The Internet is full of slop and I hate it. anyway, I found

Average apartment sizes in NYC in 2026:

Studio: 400–550 sq ft (37–51 m²)
1-bedroom: 600–800 sq ft (56–74 m²)
2-bedroom: 850–1,100 sq ft (79–102 m²)
3-bedroom: 1,100–1,500 sq ft (102–139 m²)

But at least in the city you get a walkable living place with mass transit. Very few goats, however.

No. You get the shed. Put these glasses on.

Could be remixed with all kinds of fandoms. "Come train with me and Vegeta!"

[–] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 55 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Damn I'm not stable enough to just get jumpscared by an image like that out of nowhere

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 20 points 22 hours ago

Oh, my b. Thought it was just funny.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 12 points 21 hours ago

Took me a while to see the rope.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of commiting to the simulation in superhot VR. I legit had to pull off the headset and make sure it was just a game first.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

My back got so prickly in that scene. Every survival instinct was telling me to hold up let's just think about this for a minute.

Honestly, that's a pretty nice single wide.

Oh, I took you out of Tokyo to live in the strangest bathroom in Bucharest

5x the space of the average Japanese household and 1/10th the price

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

average Japanese household

Only average because of the heavy population density in the top 5 cities. Most places (by area) in Japan are cheap and spacious. You can have a 2 bed for less than a grand in mid-sized towns.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 0 points 9 hours ago

Aren't those houses usually old and made of very cheap stuff like thin wood and sum? Idk if i'd like to live in a house that isn't made of bricks...

I don't know japan very well so i may be wrong tho

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 23 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

Does Japan not have any crappy areas?

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 26 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

We do, but most of them have something within cycling distance that isn't on an 70+ kph road with maniacs (and the closer to civilization, they have public transit).

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What's something that most people would be surprised to learn about Japan?

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

That's actually rather difficult to give one answer to, even if narrowed to one country/culture as the target audience.

For North America: central heat/air is not a thing here outside of commercial applications. A handful of private individuals do it, but it ends up costing a ton both directly (the unit/maintenance) and indirectly (more materials, ductwork, insulation, etc. that are less common and more expensive here). We just had building laws revised this year to require slightly higher building codes for energy efficiency and insulation, but it's still well below the standard of other places. It's somewhat a cost issue (Japanese houses depreciate to nothing after 20 years in most cases and land value only goes up in a handful of areas, so there's additional pressure not to care a ton), and also a reaction to "sick home syndrome" that came from bad plastics/materials offgassing things like formaldehyde in the '80s in more tightly-closed homes. Here, homes that breathe well are still considered better.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

It still boggles my mind people in Japan buy new when it comes to housing. I guess if they are all cheaply built that makes sense.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 33 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Well there’s Johnson Town in Saitama.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Why is there a sign saying "blue corn" in English there? And why is it called "Johnson Town"?

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like an American suburb but without yard space.

[–] suitmangray@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

So like a normal suburb from before 1920....

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago (3 children)
[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

It’s old American military officer housing, rented out as low income housing for several decades, then after it accidentally lasted long enough to appeal to locals, it was refurbed into a kitschy/artsy commercial area to indulge in Americana through a Japanese lens.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 30 points 22 hours ago

It looks like America, so ehhhh

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 20 hours ago
