So that complete apartment is illegal in NY, but the NY storage closets without a bathroom or kitchen are not??? Makes zero sense.

@ae2948 Жыл бұрын

Its because those units were grandfathered in from days long by - flop houses, SROs, rooming houses, "dorms" for young unmarried workers. And even in days gone by - no one wanted to stay in those places for a lifetime.

@amg9163 Жыл бұрын

@@ae2948If they brought back those SRO (Single Room Occupancy) units, at reasonable rates (say, $10/night), there could be a place for some (many?) homeless people to go, if they are not too far gone with addiction/mental issues. In smaller cities, there are initiatives to build tiny houses for the homeless. I just read an article that Columbus Ohio is spending $30million to build 40 little *sheds,* essentially, to house the homeless. I think the SRO model needs a comeback.

One couldn’t offer even this apartment in Japan in my country. I don’t know whether there are laws prohibiting the rent of places like this, but people wouldn’t go there doesn’t matter what. One would never get people in Slovakia to live here. So cititens would take care of offers like this by themselves. They’d destroy it by refusing it. The latter would lead to people not to offer apartments like this.

The thing is, is that the housing crisis is a completely preventable and fabricated issue. There's plenty of land, material and people willing to build, and land owners can make a perfectly generous profit taking 20% or so of peoples wages. But, over the last 50 years the industry became monopolized, and so the younger generation now have to pay up to 60% of their wage for a place to live, which creates crime and homelessness and constricts the income for every other industry such as restaurants. Only restaurants that make very high profit can survive. All so that a few old men, instead of simply having a nice house and car, can enjoy a carefree motor-yachting lifestyle.

I lived in Osaka for a year in a 25 SqMr apartment and it was wonderful. I arrived to Japan with one hugh suitcase and a duffel bag. When I went home in addition to these two items I had 3 cardboard boxes full of stuff I sent via snail mail home (it took them 3 months to arrive...). What I realized after living like this, is that I can definitely manage with much less possessions and also that even in a small place I can accumulate quite a lot of thing (which I'm not sure I need it all). One more thing: Japanese apartments may be small but they are designed very smartly and efficiently. I want to go back to Osaka!

I really feel like micro apartments would help a lot in the US. We should reconsider the size standards as long as it's understood that these must be literally affordable on minimum wage. Could get people off the street or just finally out of their parents house. A win either way. The housing crisis here is insane. I think a lot of us would choose a micro apartment over a $1200+ one bedroom that doesn't even have a washer.

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Therefore if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God is holy and His standard for Heaven is perfection so how can we who have all sinned and fallen short of that perfect standard enter Heaven? We transfer our trust from man, from politicians, from this world, from ourselves, from our works, from our pastors/priests, from mary, from buddha, from allah, from idols to Jesus Christ who lived that perfect life and then laid it down and took the punishment that we deserved for our sins. Find a quiet place alone and humbly kneel before God and confess your sins before Him. Ask Him to forgive your sins and to save your soul. Tell Jesus you accept His free gift and ask Him to make you a new creation in Christ. God wants a personal relationship with you. Start one today. He absolutely longs to hear from you. Please don't put it off, we can die at any second. Eternity is forever! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in Heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

NY should definitely allow this kind of thing. Small apartments like this can be found in many cities, including Paris. Though usually, you do have to share a bathroom. Having the bathroom and laundry included makes this tiny place great. I would definitely vacation there. I don't want to spend money on a room, because normally I only sleep there. If I'm in another city, I'm out and about most of the time. It would also be perfect for students. My least favorite thing about this place was all the little fabric things - like the tissue cover and whatever was on the toilet paper holder. Those things are hard to sanitize, that's all. But it looked very clean and inviting. I hope you left them a good review.

@NihonKaikan Жыл бұрын

There are washer/dryers in Western countries too, but since they are basically useless, nobody uses them. They also aren’t “dryers” per se and are incredibly inefficient. They use the heat from the washer motor to verrrrry slowly provide a little heat. You also have to take items out after the wash, shake them and put them in or you will end up with baked in wrinkles. Both my washers have the feature and the one time I used it, two pair of jeans took 6 hours to dry. Gimmick…nothing more.

@alexbelcher2206 Жыл бұрын

@@ranarosatravels Addiction I can agree with but keep people with mental illnesses out of this. We are not without our opportunities. In fact it’s more of an income based problem that causes homelessness. There are plenty of people who work from both sides of the spectrum (meaning those society deems mentally stable and those it doesn’t) who work and can either make ends meet or have more than enough that they can afford to have nice houses and fancy cars and pay for their kids to go to college. The same can also be said about the opposite in that both “normal” and “not normal” people don’t have enough in some cases. An example I can give for the former is a company in New York (I think it was New York City or the article just didn’t say a city and just listed the state as this was a few years ago so I don’t fully remember) was hiring strictly for people with mental disabilities. I am autistic with high functioning so I don’t know if I could have gotten a job there or not. It would depend on whether they wanted people who would be less likely to find a job elsewhere or not. One of my family members shared the job posting with me over Facebook and had said I should apply. I didn’t for a few reasons. One I listed above in that I wasn’t sure if there were limiting factors based on severity of mental illness. Another was that I was somewhat struggling to save money at the time so I would have had some difficulties finding a place to live and I have no family in the area I could have stayed with while I saved enough to find an apartment.

They still wouldn’t use both. Drying takes a lot of energy and energy is at premium in Japan.

@RaWeir2 Жыл бұрын

@@karenkaytor The 2N1s are considerably more expensive than the regular washers. THAT is the primary reason to not use them (outside line drying is the main way to dry here). However, those that do have / buy the 2N1s, definitely use them. Power is no longer at a premium (not back to 100% pre-3/11, but not as many -or any- calls for rationing).

hand your washed clothes in the bathroom. there should be a rod in there. and that thing on the bathroom ceiling is an air sucking device to help dry clothes quicker. there should be a setting in the bathroom to turn it in

Love seeing the Japanese apartments. I have seen other people using those tables on the "bed" for work space. More comfortable than sitting on the floor all the time. And since outdoor shoes are not worn in the house, the feet of the table should be pretty clean so no sanitary worries LOL

It’s so cute! The loft area would definitely be storage if someone lived there full time. And I’d probably install some sort of curtain at the loft so I wouldn’t see all of my junk. I loved that it had a bathroom and washer too.

Not that much, they take fire safety very seriously in Japan. In Tokyo, for example, open flame is downright illegal. But earthquakes happen and those cause gas leaks and stuff, so they're prepared.

Thanks, Cash, for showing us! Sweet little Apt. Designed well. Wish we had more here in the US. Needed so bad in our big cities. So let see if I was living there... The ole three hook Hat/Coat over door hooks right off of course LOL! As we walk on ward: TV would be replaced with a computer/ books, movies and games and work instead. And that area, I would use see thru Wall shelves (running tall and width adjusted to fit that area.) Type of shelves would be personal of course. ((but on a budget, I personally have actually done this and used Metal adjustable rack shelves 16w x 35lg inches for a compacted area I needed a functional Puter/workspace, and it works great)) With a rolling Smaller profiled computer chair. Up High where that clock and fan is. Yeah, I see me building it out just a bit there for, off season storage bins or baskets or such. Where the ice box is I would put another adjustable metal rack (might have to be narrower) but only has to be big enough for your icebox to slide under then shelves for your appliances and other things like food and cleaners LOL. If Bed is perm and not a murphy bed or futon (which it kind of looks like to me with the coffee/dinner table being able to be moved over there in front a futon perfect size to fit) I'd Throw some storage bins that rolled in and out under the bed for clothing n such. A rollup- rollaway ladder for overhead loft for storage or Guest bed. Little blue chair not sure how comfy? I like it though if it is. If not replaced with a similar one but comfy one. A Collapsible Adjustable table that stores under the chair or on wall there or behind chair itself. Can pop up when one wants a higher table or serving two (one sit on chair and other on bed edge) or placed and lower to be able to sir on floor. Blackout thermal curtains. Not sure on the ring in bathroom but it be my clothes dryer if it would hold hanged wet clothes? OHH the possibilities... Definitely agree with you Sir. We need Apts like this we have so many vacated and abandoned buildings and malls that could be used for this. TY again and be blessed and safe and see you on your next tour...

Japan is a small country with a lot of people living in it. I can see people actually living in a micro apartment like this in Japan. Also people in Europe sometimes live in micro apartments like this in like Paris and other larger cities. I think what a lot of people don't get is if you live in a large city like this they probably dont spend a ton of time in their apartment.

Something like this seems ok for students or young job beginners. If it is not very expensive. And for a room like this as a tourist, 40 dollars is absolutely ok. It seemed clean and had some fun little details that made one feel welcome.
