Why don't Japanese cities engage in exclusionary zoning for the rich?

My guess is: Japanese cities are not allowed to restrict on density, only height. So nothing to stop dense apts in rich areas.

Japanese zoning restricts on density, check FAR & BCRs here: http://www.mlit.go.jp/common/000234477.pdf …

No. I mean "humans living here per square foot" density. I don't see any restrictions on that.

You mean occupancy laws? I'm not familiar with those but there are practical limits to how many people you can fit in a given house

True. But Japan is famous for testing those limits. The fact that cities aren't allowed to stop builders from trying is key I think.

Are you sure you're not thinking of some other east Asian country? What are some examples of this?

Lmao don't fall for sensationalist stories that try and present a niche as a booming industry; how many Americans live in "Tiny Houses?"

Fair. Maybe we should consult someone whose ever been to Japan. I'm no expert.
