The rent is too damned high

Charlene and I have been having a lot of discussions about housing policy, and I think this is relevant: RT François Chollet @fchollet

🌉 SF bay area:

area: 18,040 km2

population: 7.8M

density: 425.7/km2

1BR rent: $3.3k

🗼 Tokyo bay area:

area: 14,034 km2 (22% less)

population: 37.8M (385% more (4.85x))

density: 2,631/km2

1BR rent: $1k (70% less)

I wonder how they do it. Ah, I guess we'll never know🤔
