Didn’t expect a 13, Rue del Percebe reference in Lemmy of all places.
Btw the business in the bottom isnt a bad idea if its some local one. I heard in tokyo there are a lot of family businesses because of walkable streets and this style of building. But even here in sweden i live above a family-run restaurant and they make pretty good food so thats nice.
Shophouses are pretty ubiquitous in SE Asia but they aren’t typically MDUs like pictured; more like townhouses. I wonder if that’s the situation in Tokyo too?
I’m using airbnb for my work trip. Renting out a room in an older lady’s home. That should really be the only way airbnb functions.
10 years ago, Couchsurfing was like this, I don’t know how it evolved since then
What’s crazy to me is this is a well known problem yet the people that have the ability to legislate this have just 100% ignored it.
The presidential candidates in the US either completely ignore it (trump) or give a solution of building 3 million new homes (Harris). No one wants to actually start regulating the number of homes that an individual or company can own. It’s an obvious solution to the problem yet, complete silence from the law makers.
In my state (Idaho) it’s because a good number of the legislators are landlords.
They don’t give a fuck that half their apartments are Airbnbs, they prefer it that way.
I mean the Starbucks is fine. If you’re into it, it’s great to have it nearby. And if it’s not your thing, maybe the building next door has something that isn’t so anti-worker. The short term rentals are indeed a menace though.

20m² for 700€ is an absolute steal, I’ve never seen any apartment that cheap before. Best I can get in my area for 700€ is a 5m² septict tank with 5 room mates.
“We used to have to get up at six o’clock in the morning, clean the tank, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!”
You were lucky!
Back in my day there were 7 of us living inside a brick shithouse. We had to clean it with the one toothbrush we all had, eat the crumbs from the crust of the stale bread, go to work down pit at 4am for 18 hours a day, every day, and when we got home, our Dad would chase us down street hurling bricks at us from the shit brickhouse then make us build it up again before we could go to sleep!
At least there’s an elevator. It could be a walk-up.
Elevator only goes so far. You still have stairs to do.
You need a key though, which only the landlord has
Mixed use zoning and a multiuse building? This defintely isnt a north american city. America is “too big” to build like this.
