Another big difference is the apartments are actually very affordable. Two minimum wage earners could afford a ~~3~~ 2 bedroom apartment in 6 of the 23 wards in Tokyo.

EDIT: 2 bedroom, not 3.

Yeah that's honestly insane.

You do realize a 3 bedroom appt is like 40-60m2 over here right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

40m^2 seems small. 60m^2 is 645 sq ft, so a bit smaller than we're used to, but not enough to make up the price difference.
