Most homes in Japan aren't built in the traditional Japanese style at all IIRC.
I was referring to the little space and tiny storage. Pay isn't exactly great for the rent either.
Why not?
The American Dream has become living in a McMansion in suburbia?
Aren't Japanese homes super tiny? Even smaller than the already small homes and apartments in Europe? That's one reason. In the US, it seems that people live in bigger places, with higher ceilings.
