Funny, London has outrageous rents and housing coats with the smallest footprint per capita of.all the rich Nations, smaller.than Japan.

I read.last Week about how many empty and abandoned apartments and houses there are in Japan. There are 10 million empty living spaces. Talk about a wasteful state.A co-worker of mine used to work building houses in Tokyo twenty five years ago.
