For Austin, Texas, I searched on Zillow for living spaces in Austin, TX under 600$. I found this: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/400-E-6th-St-Austin-TX-78701/2057083232_zpid/?
About 11m^2, for 450$ a month. To be fair, it’s in the center of Austin, but I didn’t limit my search to the center of Austin. And unlike Tokyo, Austin is not known for having great public transit, so you can’t save money by forgoing a car.
In conclusion, chances are if you’re low income, you’ll have more space Tokyo.
So you don’t know that 50 > 11? You’re supposed to have learned this in 1st grade.
Edit: Sorry I just realized that given your level of education, I can’t assume you know what “>” means. It means “is larger than”. “50 > 11” means “50 is larger than 11”. Or completely in words “Fifty is larger than eleven”.
It’s a 20 foot box. My entire living space in 20x20. Shitting and eating and sleeping all in the same room. My Detroit apartment was slightly bigger than that. No, it’s terrible. I won’t have kids, that’s my ecological contribution. I’m not living in a city again.
It’s a 3DK, which is means a Dining room, kitchen, and 3 multi purpose rooms. And if you look at the floor plan, then the toilet is in its own small room, which doesn’t seem to count as 1 of the multi purpose rooms.
So how much space do you want? How much space would a living arrangement need to have?
I looked it up, fuck no that’s horrible. Actual Hell on earth.
Me personally I need a kitchen with more than a foot of counter space. Washer, dryer, garage workshop, basement gaming room. Not struggling to have three guests in my home and not going to a fucking laundromat is key, oh and a small yard at least.

I don’t want to live in either 20 foot box. Hard pass. Thank you for making my point.

Yes 50 is bigger, and yet I still prefer a house. 20 feet by 20 feet. Woo hoo.
So, what’s so bad about the Japanese apartment that you’d rather die than live there?

How many people are you cooking for that you need a large kitchen? How often do you have a lot of guests? And what do you need the yard for?
