Japan does not culturally treat housing and homeownership as a store of wealth the way America has for most of a century and as a result, all of its downstream policies like taxation, subsidies, zoning, etc. don’t enable housing to appreciate disproportionately faster than wages.https://twitter.com/hblodget/status/1133539607264550914 …

This is 90% loan to value mortages/contstruction loans, Bank of Japan interest rates at -.1%, low/negative GDP and wage growth, and extremely cavalier zoning laws. I'm disagreeing with the stated cause of this, not whether it happens.

JP millennials are trying to create wealth by taking advantage of these policies and buying/building things. Its easy to forget that JP has been basically a zombie for the past 20 years, so this is easier said than done, and has a lot to do with cultural mindsets irt risk taking.pic.twitter.com/aW2ql6EFX0
