      Why isn't there housing speculation? Is it a matter of bank policy, or is it just a matter of the character of the population?

      Bad burn during the 90's. Population is a factor too, but Tokyo has had growth and will stay growing until 2030 or so.

      So what you're saying is that one of the biggest reasons housing prices aren't going up is that housing prices aren't going up?

      little reg. has made more units come to market than are demanded. Also houses in Japan drop in value as they age. Land is what holds value.

      What kind of price raising regulations exist elsewhere? (I.e. London, New York, San Fransico, etc.)

      Central London also has conservation areas and "vista protections". Nice ideas on paper, sure. but they result in 1.2£+ detached homes.pic.twitter.com/uxtnSbcho0

      These conservation areas refer to conserving building stock too--compare their location on that map with satellite photos

          Oh, I see. I guess Tokyo was firebombed enough that it doesn't have too many pre war buildings. Gotta go to Kyoto for that.

          More to the point, buildings are not expected to last--most buildings get torn down a few decades after being built

          Even buildings designated for preservation tend to be Ships of Theseus after a few years of routine maintenance

          I don't know about that. Certainly true for most post war constructions, but a lot of pre war stuff retains much original material.

          Probably more true for brick/stone/concrete buildings than wood ones though.
