Housing is super affordable in Japan, a big reason for that is that is a house is seen as a depreciating asset like a car. You buy a lot, throw up a cheap house, and eventually sell and maybe break even on the value of the land after inflation but the value of the house itself is near 0 by the time you sell. Also the super lax zoning system allows you to just buy land and put up a house and not need a laywer and 3 code consultants to figure out what you're allowed to build and then go to a public meeting at city hall to beg council to allow you to go from 75% lot coverage to 78% lot coverage then it in the end the whole thing is shut down because they found out you plan to have a little office on the ground floor that you run your little home business tax office from and that's technically a commercial use so you need off-street parking and a re-zoning hearing where all your busy body neighbours can weigh in and bitch that your tax business will some how ruin the neighbourhood and drive down property values because the primary and only purpose of housing is as an investment and adopting a hosed up property value cargo cult.

Not like the drat realtor is gonna mention it.  What kind of PPE will you need to provide your grandma nanny to comply with workplace safety in a drat Grudge house? OSHA nightmare if you ask me.

Also not to get into japanese housing and zoning too much but not ALL houses are torn down. If you've built a nice big solid modern concrete house and sell it a few years later people aren't going to tear that house down. It's mostly just little lovely cheap 25+ year old houses that are mostly being sold because they've reached the end of their lifespan houses that get torn down. If you were buying a house and most of the cost was in the land, and the cost of fixing up the house was only a tiny bit less than building a new one why not just build the new one?

What I'm hearing is that modular manufactured housing is a ripe and overlooked opportunity in Japan? Like, little 1x3 tatami lego blocks that are small enough to fit down the road and snap together on site?

shame on an IGA posted:What I'm hearing is that modular manufactured housing is a ripe and overlooked opportunity in Japan? Like, little 1x3 tatami lego blocks that are small enough to fit down the road and snap together on site? Bathrooms at least are already sold as prefab units. Plastic floor, ceiling and walls with all the fixtures moulded in. They're not much fun when you're half a centimetre taller than the ceiling height. Example here: http://www.jfkc.jp/en/introduction/room.html (not the type I had to live with)

I've seen this before, and I cut my own firewood, and I still can't figure the physics out based on what he is planning. Unless (somehow) it falls towards the camera, something is going to get hosed up. The accident gawker in me would like to see any after pictures?

My Dad was a tree trimmer (with Asplundh, the orange guys) for 30 years before nerve damage of running a vibrating chainsaw 8 hours a day 5 days a week got to him, and he used the saw on a stick thing all the time. They handed them out in the 70s, It's a hydraulic saw with a 12" blade on the end. Faster, cleaner and safer (once you know how to use it) than the chainsaw on a stick that you see around now.
