Tokyo’s limited living space

Land in Tokyo is a much prized possession, and as such, people have to pay a pretty penny to purchase some. A situation that means even the most meagre amount of land is likely to be built upon, making monolith-like lodgings a must.

Which, while small, do get some amount of sun,

have a certain sense of style,

and conveniently boast just enough space for a suitably sized car.

It seems to get wider at the car-port end. Still, I wouldn’t fancy lugging a washing machine or a sofa in there.

Is it where the inventor of plasma screens lives? You can see where I’m going with this, can’t you. I’ll get me coat.

As long as it’s down one of those big and bulky down ones…

Yea it has to be, probably a huge plasma mounted on one end, with arcades machines along the way to it. ( i think i could have exaggerated a bit much !! )

One just like it, a little wider and wedged shape went up at the end of my street.

I could live in that. I wouldn’t want to live in that my whole life, but I certainly could live in that for a few years. There’s probably enough space if you don’t have too many things.

If you have a bad case of the runs and the toilets are on one side and the bedroom at the opposite, you repaint the corridor yellow, folks !

These buildings are really common in Tokyo. Especially on corners. The funny thing is that even though the actual living space isn’t that much, the prices don’t really drop.
