The housing question in Japan

Article Abstract:

Japan's housing condition is extremely affected by the government policies, including extremely high land prices, tax advantages of owning land that have caused under-utilization of land, and the small size of Japanese rental housing. The housing market is affected by the government through land use regulation and infrastructure provision. Since developments are restricted in Urbanization Control Areas, the housing supply becomes reduced. Local governments also prohibit developments because of limited tax revenues to finance public services and infrastructure investment.

Housing affordability for families with children

Article Abstract:

The adoption of a new standard for housing affordability would make it easier to tailor social policy to meet the real needs of American families. The current measurement is biased against families with children. Using a system devised by Michael Stone it is possible to make clear that low-income families are more at risk in the area of housing than current statistics suggest.
