Is it a meme that Tokyo house prices were already exorbitantly high?
You can rent an apartment for 500$ just 25min from city center in Tokyo. It used to be expensive but not at all anymore.
$500 a month? That's incredible, there must be some kind of catch. Do you have to live in a box? Is it state subsidized? 25 min in traffic?
Ya that's a helluva rate; average rents would be more like $1500/mo for an apartment
For comparison, Boston's average rent is $2458/mo, or just $1979/mo if you only look at 1-br
Is that average for the whole city? Tokyo is so big that it includes places very far from the city center.
If you're only looking at 23 special wards (directly analogous to municipal borders of Boston) then it's $1837/mo in Tokyo
That's the "whole city," and includes nothing far from the city center--"Tokyo Metropolis" refers to 23 wards + suburbs and exurbs in west
Whereas "Greater Tokyo" refers to Tokyo Metropolis + several adjacent prefectures
Not perfect comparison w Boston but basically: 23 Wards = City of Boston Tokyo Metropolis = Suffolk County Greater Tokyo = Greater Boston
