Not the way we are accustomed to building detached houses in USA--but ditch the yards and reduce the building footprint (keeping overall costs lower & making such houses more accessible for low-income buyers) and it's another story https://twitter.com/ded_ruckus/status/1011301084348858368 …

Is having a "yard" really worth it when it's neither under your custody nor exclusive for your use? If you can't mow or garden, and can't decide who hangs out there or not--wouldn't it be better just to skip having a yard at that point, and go for something like Ota Ward instead?

Basically, I can understand why people would rather live in a typical US suburb than in the pictured neighborhood--but I have trouble imagining anyone would rather live in typical US "dense development" than in the pictured neighborhoodpic.twitter.com/GR6vThUNND

ugh, that's awful. narrow streets + cars denormalized seems way better for inside cities. (is there any parking with those Tokyo houses at all? underground or something?)

yes, almost all will have parking for one car (two car garages are another story) sometimes it's underground or on the ground level, but usually it's adjacent to the house in one way or another (see pic--although in most cases, there is a gate protecting driveway from street)pic.twitter.com/ZTykZ8tDXD
