  1.  @mindstalk  Yes, many college dorms are also inhumane. You are not making your point sound any better.

  2. No way, most of America is not New York City.

  3.  @LTL_king  I wouldn't want to live in US suburban hellscapes or Japanese capsule size apartments. Two opposite extremes, no thank you.

  4. Absolutely not, they have space in abundance. What they really should focus on is how to properly use that space instead of wasting it on large suburban sprawls and highways cutting neighborhoods in two. Best approach for them is copying European cities and transportation infrastructure. That includes trams, buses, metros, bike lanes, pedestrian walkways. European urban planing is more humane than East Asian.

  5. I dunno, for work lots (so long as they have a bathroom) its fine, but looks like a nightmare for living spaces.

  6. To be fair, most of Japan seems disability unfriendly.

  7.  @mindstalk  No, Japan has little to no bike infrastructure, not unlike The Netherlands, largely due to his loose zoning laws, and pedestrian walkways double as car roads, which wouldnt pass in the US, especially not in the most crucial transitional period. Also American cities use to be like European ones before the car craze, with rail infrastructure and all, so naturally they should gravitate to what they once were. Many city areas still retain their historical city centers, zoning, and layout. Should expand that city design to other areas that were ruined by car infrastructure and car centric planning instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with an equally extreme city planing design from East Asian countries.

  8.  @mindstalk  Perhaps when you grow up you will learn to accept that other people dont like some things that you do.

  9. Or Earthquakes. It can't be easy or safe going down those tight narrow spiral stairs when in a hurry.

  10. That's the neat thing, you don't. These are too small for any real furniture, even if you moved it disassembled Ikea style.

  11.  @LifeWhereImFrom  I just wonder what kind of furniture would fit in these apartments? Seems like most are already refurbished to maximum space, besides general stuff like devices and clothing racks.

  12. Most people here are just positive about it cause it looks like a theme park novelty and because it's Japan, good for a wacky video. I doubt they would last long living in such tight spaces. It would actively triggers some form of claustrophobia.

  13. ​ @mindstalk  I rather they put a small green space than an attempt at tight urban planning putting people in spaces like sardines. Maybe for you thats normal, but not for me, you should accept that. To me it is a theme park novelty and to many watching these video it will remain as such. What do you think that there is an influx of people going to Japan to live in these apartments when they have far easier to migrate to, better housing options, and more compatible countries to go to? Be real. Who are you to get in my way of saying whats humane and what isnt? You think sardine homes are humane and would gladly subject people to it cause "its cheap and affordable". There are ways to make cheap affordable housing without doing this to people, but I guess thats far above your perception cause "cool quirky Japanese housing wow" overrides any common sense.
