why isn't Tokyo *cheaper* than Northampton?

yeah. You'd think there'd be economies of scale in producing housing at such high volume.

just like a Toyota is cheaper than a low-production English or Italian car
-
the difference between a Toyota and a house is that you can take the Toyota to wherever you need it
-
housing, even mass produced, is utterly place-dependent for its value
-
you're thinking of the land. I'm talking about the housing, which is a manufactured item.
-
no, I'm talking about the house too, unless it has wheels
