Although it is a Kougaidanchi that was abandoned because it was not chosen as the second generation, is there a possibility that new residents will flow in from the outside? There seem to be many advantages compared to urban areas. The first that can be immediately mentioned is that there are many places where land is very cheap because it is not being used. For example, if you try to find a place in Setagaya Ward or Suginami Ward, which are famous residential areas in Tokyo, you can't go below 30 million yen for a land that is less than 100 sqm. If there is such a land, some kind of condition will come, such as impossible to build or reconstruct, or leased land. This is the same on the east side of Tokyo Station, and in the Katsushika and Edogawa wards where there are relatively many detached houses, where just the land costing 20 to 30 million is a common situation. In addition to this, there are many places, such as the city central area, where the building conditions are severe because of the high density of constructions, so regulations about construction and fire prevention are more restricted, and there is a high possibility that the construction will be difficult under conditions such as the distance to the adjacent door and the inability to enter heavy machinery. In many cases, it is necessary to use coin parking as an overhead for the construction workers, and since the garbage disposal cannot be stored on the premises, the construction time of the day is excessively used for cleaning up and construction becomes more expensive. If the basic unit price of basic housing construction is about 700,000 yen per tsubo(about 3,30sqm), if you build a house with a total floor area of 35 tsubo (about 115,7sqm), it will easily cost you 60 million yen to buy a detached house. Even with today's very low mortgage interest rate (0.675% in Chiba Bank), it will be close to 170,000 yen per month after 35 years of payment. When you look at a property in a Kougadanchi, a land of 50 tsubo (about 165,29 sqm) is available for 1 to 3 million yen. Similarly, for a 35 tsubo (about 115,7sqm) house to be built, with the basic unit price of approximately 600,000 yen, it would cost 21 million yen, and even if you include overhead, you can get a new home for 25 million yen. So, if you have a mortgage with the same conditions, you would pay less than 70,000 yen a month. It would be a difference of 1.2 million yen per year. This is simply an advantage of lower living costs, but it also means that households with an annual income of 6 million yen and households with 3.8 million yen will have exactly the same life quality level depending on where they live. Of course, for this reason, there are many households who buy apartments for about 30-40 million yen and live in this area, but anyway, buying a small and expensive house and staying in the city can be said that it is just a matter of both financially and environmentally unfavorable conditions. And this is not limited to the Tokyo metropolitan area, but the area adjacent to Tokyo of Chiba, Kanagawa, and Saitama. If you are in Chiba, you can find 50-60 million homes even though Funabashi City is not in Tokyo.

　Also, in terms of living near nature, suburban detached housing is very advantageous when compared to urban areas. In the first place, in urban areas, there are parks and other greenery inside buildings, but because Kougaidanchi areas were built in the woods and forest, in the middle of rice paddies and fields near the river or the sea, once you step out of the estate, rice fields spread out there, planting rice in the spring, shaking the harvest in the summer, harvesting it in the autumn, and feeling the season from the winter path. Like the fresh greens and autumn leaves of the close hill, nature provides the richness that humans fundamentally seek. Fishing, bamboo digging, chestnut picking, camping, BBQ, and outdoor activities can also be enjoyed very nearby. And because there are large spaces such as gardens and vacant lots, you can fully enjoy doing something special such as DIY and home gardening. Imagine a hot summer day, and after overtime, you're rocked by a crowded subway on your way home. When you take a shower in a bath where you can not open the window, you go out to the balcony with a depth of about 90 cm and drink a beer while looking at the darkness of the sky while looking at the wall of the opposite house and feeling the heat of the air conditioning outdoor unit. If you think that the beetle that the child brought is moving with a rustling sound somewhere in the living room, there are scattered portable game machines on the desk. On the next holiday, buy fast fashion clothes anywhere and eat fast food anywhere in the mall. During the occasional holiday, you ride on the train for about 2 hours, and go out to the sea and mountains, and after about 2 hours, you go home after the day off with a tired body. If you live in a Kougaidanchi, even if you work overtime, you can get home in about 30 minutes, take a bath with a large window, lay down on a reclining chair on a large wooden deck and pour cold beer and freshly picked edamame in the garden while adding cold water to a plastic pool used by children in the daytime. For tomorrow's day off, you plan to complete your outdoor table making with your children, and, in the evening, you call your friends and family for a BBQ party. Considering this, the Kougaidanchi should be considered better than the urban area for anyone to live but, in fact, many people still choose to live in urban areas.

　The root cause of the current choice of cities over the suburbs is probably the poor cost performance of the suburbs. So far it seems that the suburbs are better than the city, but there seems to be a contradiction. What has been claimed so far is the superficial advantage or ideal appearance of the suburbs, when in reality, the situation seems to be offsetting this advantage. Although the cost of acquiring a home is significantly lower, there are more disadvantages and defects.

　First of all, the smallness of the land is mentioned. Certainly there are many vacant lots and the unit price is cheap, but the unit sold is about 50-70 tsubo (165 - 231 sqm).If it is about 50 tsubo, it is a very general area that cannot be said to be large enough to be secured even in urban areas unless it is in Tokyo.Because there are a lot of vacant lots, and the unit price of land is cheap, in the first place, there are a lot of large land., but then, the space advantage, which is the biggest advantage of the suburbs, has been erased by the invisible framework given by this mysterious system of real estate market. In other words, if a family is exhausted by super crowded urban life, hopes to buy a land of 100-200 tsubo that is not readily available in the urban area, in order to fully enjoy the low density Kougaidanchi. However, such land does not appear in the real estate market in the first place. Of course, there is a lot of land, but it is not a residential area, but most of it is in an old village or a forest, and you cannot enjoy the benefits of a residential area. At least, a wide and comfortable land as a residential area that has been developed to some extent for people who live in the city to move in, it ’s an image you can imagine, but it does n’t really exist. In fact, such a thing is only like a property utopia.

　Secondly, the size of the house to be built is not surprisingly large. Even in Tokyo, where the density is the highest in Japan, a house of about 30 tsubo (about 100sqm) is not uncommon. In other words, whether it is an urban area or a suburb, the difference in the size of the house is only about 1-2 rooms. If this area is used for a living room, it will be very spacious and it will be a suburb. However, each room is about 6-8 tatami mats, and the fact that the bath is 1 tsubo is all the same space as if there was such a rule somewhere. Of course, each room can be enlarged by two tatami mats, but in that case, of course, the living room and dining room will be exactly the same size as a pencil house in Tokyo. This is affected by construction costs and household income, but it is unlikely that the former will be doubled or half priced no matter what. The problem of the economic structure of Japan as a whole is also big, but wage gaps such as Japanese automakers producing in Mexico with low labor costs, and of course, because it is an economy within the same yen, there is no such thing as an exchange rate that allows you to buy branded goods overseas at a reasonable price. In addition, as for the price of materials, veneers, SPF materials, cement, etc., which are imported materials are purchased through major trading companies, or construction materials produced by major manufacturers overseas or materials imported in the first place are imported through intermediate wholesalers. There is almost no regional difference to purchase. On the other hand, in remote islands that are far from urban areas or in areas with limited distribution, shipping costs may be increased and expensive. And, in the case of a worker who is employed by a local office worker or company that purchases a suburban Kougaidanchi that is not a rural or fishing village, the household income is lower than that of an urban area. So even if you get the land cheaply, there is not enough budget to build a double size house, 35 tsubo which is the minimum area necessary for experience and preconceptions such as rental apartments and growing environment We will build the front and back houses. So even if you get the land cheaply, you don't have enough budget to build a double-sized house, you will build a house in the residential area of around 35 tsubo (115 sqm), which is the minimum area necessary for experience and preconceptions about rental apartments and the environment where you grew up. Moreover, if the land is about 50-70 tsubo (165-230 sqm), the house will be built with an area of about 20 tsubo (66 sqm) that very suits for two stories house with a little garden, it makes you not plan the bigger than that.

　In addition, regarding the quality, performance, or design of the house, wherever it is built, if it is left to a house maker or construction company, the exterior, interior, equipment, and other used building materials will be almost the same. This can be easily understood if you imagine a bathroom, but if it is a current residence where the unit bathroom(prefabricated bathroom) is the mainstream, whether it is an urban area or a suburb, it has a completely different owner regardless of the location It is no wonder that a room in a completely different house has the exact same space no matter what part of the floor, wall, or ceiling. This is because it is natural for building materials to be selected from ready-made products by manufacturers, and only 2-3 major manufacturers for each type of toilet, flooring, wallpaper, fittings, etc. have choices from construction companies and therefore there are almost no regional differences. And each manufacturer distributes as if it is obliged to line up products with almost the same functions and specifications, so even the catalog structure is almost the same and only the logo is different. The logic they use is very convenient for construction companies because it is very easy to replace each building material, but as a result, no matter what manufacturer you choose, you will have a home that does not make a big difference.

　The same thing is happening not only in building materials but also when building houses. In the first place, the floor plan required for the drafting examination of the architect test is correct if the living room is set on the south side, connected to the garden, and the water area is placed on the north side. And by deciding the long side and short side of the room with modules between the 2730mm, 3640mm, and 4550mm scales, structural problems can be determined with the rule of thumb, so the size and shape of the room is almost the same. Trapezoidal planar shapes and free-curved walls are out of the question, and there is no such thing as an extremely long space or a very large space such as a 10 sqm living room. And if the ceiling height is made by putting one piece of 2400mm plasterboard, as a three-dimensional space, it will be exactly the same. In this way, the same house is created in both urban and suburban areas, where the layout and elevation should be significantly different. The aspect that the house maker is promoting is likely to have a significant impact. By simplifying design and management, by packaging houses as commodities, we have succeeded in promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement on the part of construction companies. This is also imitated by local medium-sized house makers, and eventually a small construction shop proposes a house with the same mechanism, and the scenery of the current condominium will be created.

　In addition to the hardware aspects of land and buildings, there are several disadvantages in terms of software aspects. Most dissatisfaction point that comes out immediately when thinking about life in the suburbs is inconvenient. In Japan, where hygiene and efficiency have become absolute values, inconvenience is nothing but evil. This is a very big problem to imagine the life in a Kougaidanchi.

　If it says inconvenience that would be transportation and movement. Unfortunately, there are very few transportation options around Kougaidanchi. It is actually possible to list walking, bicycles, cars, buses, railroads, taxis, etc, but if you can use them as long as there is practically no pain, cars are the only choice. Of course, you can choose walking and bicycle as the basic means of transportation, but in the first place there are very few destinations that can be moved by these two. Even an elementary school where children attend often takes 20-30 minutes on foot, and a junior high school often takes 20-30 minutes by bicycle. Of course, it will be drenched when it rains, and it is hopeless to get back something that is left behind. Even if it is 10-15 minutes by bicycle to the nearest convenience store, in fact, suburban detached housing estates are often cut off hills and forests avoiding existing farmland and are named XX-DAI or XX-GAOKA(They mean XX-hills in English). Then the streets are full of slopes. This environment that is convenient for ventilation and daylighting will give you an extra bonus of taking 20 minutes to get back on the road, which would have been 10 minutes for a bicycle, and getting tired very much. Usually there are many houses on the hill, so it is necessary to continue eternally on long and gentle uphills on the way back home after commuting to school. It’s lucky if there are bus lines through the housing complex, there are many housing complexes in locations that can not be used unless you take 5-10 minutes on foot to the national highway or the big prefectural road which is the nearest main road. Even when bus routes are set up in the housing complex, the timetable should be 2-3 per hour, and there may be times when buses do not come during times other than commuting. The last bus is also very early, and it is not enough for the demands of the working and playful generations. As for railroads, a single-line private railway local railroad is in the same situation as a bus, and even for JR, the last train would be gone very early also. Since the tickets for both buses and railroads are often more expensive than those in urban areas, aside from having a commuter pass, it will be a large expense when used each time. And since taxis have almost no cruises, it is quite expensive considering that they are picked up. In the first place, it is several times as much as buses, so it is not an option from the beginning.

　There are also inconveniences caused by economic factors, such as very few options for shopping, and what you want is usually far away. If you have a commercial area on foot or in a bicycle area, you will be blessed, and shopping streets where you can get clothes and books from daily goods are often only accessible by car. Major fast fashions, major fast foods, major supermarkets and major bookstores, the stores that can be used in the shopping street or shopping mall are almost the same regardless of where you go. What you will eventually get is exactly the same. For this reason, if you want something special or unusual, or if you need something expensive or complicated, you have to go out to the city. For example, suppose you go to a bookstore in a nearby shopping street for books about hobby trips. You can get related magazines such as Kyoto and Hokkaido in Japan and Hawaii in other countries. But you are very lucky if you can find even one book about art festivals or tours for craft beer in local areas or Scandinavian countries. Also, there should be no difference if they are the same fast fashion stores, with the urban area, but there are few suburban stores that have a full lineup of the brand. For example, all types of XL and XS size products are available only at stores in local city department stores, and stores in the suburbs have only L size, and collaboration products with famous brands sold for a limited time are In the first place, a suburban place is defined as a place where only the average person lives, who wants only the same thing as a person.

　If there are no choices for shopping, of course there are few choices for leisure. For example, a place to drink coffee with friends is a chain fast food restaurant or family restaurant, where you can either drink 100 yen coffee or a carbonated beverage from a major beverage manufacturer. There are few options for places that satisfy intellectual curiosity, and what you can do when you have time is a playground with a manga cafe, a game center, bowling, billiards, etc. It is. The options for art and entertainment are not many, and the typical example would be a movie. You can only watch movies at the cinema complex in the shopping mall. And when you go around the cinema complex within a few tens of kilometers, the distribution is just the same lineup of entertainment Hollywood movies or anime, or Japanese movies featuring popular actors. For example, if you feel like watching the latest contemporary art in a museum, going to a concert of your favorite singer or idol, watching a live comedy, musical, or theater, all of them are not enjoyed in the suburbs, it is impossible.

　The lack of options associated with this inconvenience is the maximum convenience and maximum profit for businesses that operate local governments, construction companies, real estate developers, or shopping malls, etc. The idea of ​​minimizing the cost of the project has been to create a ugly sight and situation that there is a suburb that has been tried anywhere in Japan. This lack of diversity causes determination of the flow of people between suburbs and urban areas. In other words, people living in the suburbs know that the suburbs around other places are almost the same as where they live. For this reason, there is no movement between suburbs, and one-way traffic is created in which people move from suburbs to urban areas, both at work and at leisure. Urban areas can continue to update new content by the economic power of the suburban people gathering in this way, but people do not come to the suburbs, so new things are not born and there is always stable universal demand only treated. This cycle will further diminish suburban diversity and deprive people of their expectations. Anyway, wherever you go, there is nothing good about what you can buy in the neighborhood. This reduction in expectations will lead to a further decline in identity and self-esteem for where you live. Losing self-esteem for the community will reduce the commitment of residents to local activities and events, and the scale of local events that have no human or financial resources will become smaller and their contents will be simplified and obsolete. In this way, there is an implicit understanding that the experience that can be obtained in the area and the place where the suburb is boring and unfashionable, the quality is bad and the evaluation is low and worthless.On the contrary, the city is good and the suburb is bad. So the city is full of charm, while the suburb is an unattractive place, the city is open to all people, and the suburb is a place only for the people who live, and the perception of such binary conflict spreads.

　Is the suburb really such a place

　It is clear that there is no doubt that the suburbs are inferior in their lack of options and quantity when compared to urban areas. However, it may be limited to those who consume all of them or who use them all. Who will work late enough to worry about the last train every day? Or who needs to go to the museum every weekend? If we examine each thing carefully, it may be said that the suburbs are never such inconvenient places.

　First is transportation. If you can go to all places by car, can you say that other means of transportation are not necessary? People in urban areas who can use other modes of transportation will want to say that they are inferior because they have fewer choices than themselves. But what's wrong with traveling by car? Of course, until 10 years ago, the problem of gas consumption would have been serious. However, there are now cars that run entirely on electricity, and hybrid cars are becoming popular. Compared to when the fuel consumption was 5-6 km/l, the mileage should have increased at least twice as much. Moreover, It is a popular light car with low displacement in the suburbs due to the tax system. Considering the inconvenience of public transportation in local cities outside Tokyo, Isn't the suburban area with cars one by one more convenient for transportation? For example, consider the case of going to a friend's house. If you live in the vicinity of the third station from the central station in the Kanto regional city, walking from the house to the station for 10 minutes, charging up at the ticket gate at the station stairs and reaching the platform for 5 minutes. Waitting about 5 minutes for the train and 10 minutes to Central Station. It takes another 10 minutes to transfer to another station where a friend's house is located. 5 minutes walk from the station to the friend's house. This will take nearly an hour to reach 20 km away. In the case of a car, if you run at 20km, you can go directly to your friend's house in 30 minutes even if you run at an average speed of 40km / h. If this is with children or with pets, it is possible to move by car, assuming that you carry large luggage such as vegetables sent from your parents' home or children's clothes you no longer need. It will be clear that it is more convenient. Especially in rural urban areas, you can't live without a car in the end, so even if you can use public transportation for normal travel, there will be no change in the maintenance cost of the car. Moreover, because there are still many old roads, it is difficult to drive alternately with large cars, or it is difficult to drive when the front of the house is a one-way street, or about 5-10 tsubo(16-32 sqm) than the suburbs If the land is small, the space for parking the car will be quite small and driving skills will be required.

　Then what about the shopping environment? If there are only normal things, aren't there at least normal things? And from the current trend, fast fashion flagship stores are lined up on the main street of Ginza, one of most popular shopping districts in Japan, and the convenience store lineup is exactly the same regardless of where you go. Then, whether it is in Tokyo or the suburbs, isn't there really an environment where you can get the same things anywhere in Japan, except for the special ones? We don't buy branded goods every week or month, so if the people who have the same income, what you can buy and what you need, whether you're walking in Ginza or a suburban shopping mall, doesn't change much. It should be. Durable and long-lasting socks for 3 one thousand yen, 5 standard notebooks for 300 yen for school use, 200 yen for laundry detergent and softener for sale, and anyone who has made a big hit worldwide The latest version of that smartphone you've been waiting for. All of these can be obtained anywhere in Japan. And the life of most people who live in Japan is sufficient if they can be purchased. Branded limited bags, expensive fountain pens, organic shampoos and the latest version of the smart PC and a new series of tablets just have to go to the city several times a year. Anyway, if you buy them every week, you will go bankrupt.

　As for cultural activities, the suburbs are certainly inferior to urban areas. There are no concerts, live performances or solo exhibitions of artists somewhere every day. Even more, performing arts and movies are quite disadvantageous, but since they are fun and special in the first place, they may not be necessary in the suburbs for daily living. For example, living in Tokyo doesn't mean you can enjoy a favorite club or gallery in a Los Angeles indie band or an artist based in New York. This is similar to the debate as to whether it would be great to have a course of top French cuisine every day. Because culture is based on the place, the Broadway musical is not performed in Shimokitazawa, the punk band does not play their music in Shinjuku Opera City, and the Yoshimoto Shinkigeki is not performed in Meijiza for the same reasons. In the suburbs, you can't enjoy the culture and art of Tokyo. However, local cities are not much different from the suburbs if that is the case. In other words, cultural arts are standing in a very limited place and are not deployed in the suburbs. Or, cultural arts should correspond to the suburban location. In fact, young people in the suburbs admired American graffiti culture, skateboarding and street art, old farmhouses of nearby farmers, idyllic scenery of local railways, and residential areas without high buildings. Even if there is no work of that culture and art, there are a lot of things that become the subject matter. In fact, cultural facilities such as libraries, public halls, cultural halls, concert halls, etc. are available all over Japan. In other words, for truly creative and cultural people, not consumers, isn't every suburb a wonderful place with an environment for cultural activities? The latest magazine publications and the latest novels can be read free of charge, and the Internet and audiovisual environments are in place. There is also a seminar room for movie screenings and book circles. If you don't have a collection in your local library, you can usually get it from the library network in the city. There are practice studios for dance circles, Japanese rooms for calligraphy classes, and tea rooms for tea ceremony lessons. You can hold an exhibition for an art circle in the main lobby, or you can borrow an electric kiln for a pottery class for an incredibly cheap price for several hours. Fab is popular nowadays, but in fact, the only difference from the public hall's craft room is the 3D printer and the laser cutter. Of course, the piano recitals can be performed in wonderful acoustic halls, and there are many excellent halls where you can play choirs, plays and musicals. If this is compared with the population of the municipality of the facility, the usage time of the cultural facilities allocated per capita should actually be much greater in the suburbs than in urban areas.

　Considering this, because the suburbs are places that have been specially made for living, it can be said that it is a wonderful place that is very fulfilling and well-organized from the viewpoint of living. In the suburbs, you can return by taxi even if you miss the last transportation. Even if you miss a bus that only takes one hour an hour, you can delay the promised time. You don't have much work that you have to do today, so you don't mind if it will be tomorrow. You had the necessary tools at school tomorrow, but you forgot to arrange them. In the first place, You prepared for it when you went out to the city two weeks ago. Always take care not to forget anything. If something goes wrong, you’ll spare no effort. The suburbs are not inconvenient if you can think and live in this way. So why do people think that people who are especially unconsciously choosing the urban area should not choose the suburbs inconveniently? I think that is the inconvenience of the suburbs, that is, nothing more than a margin in all things. Reexamine the environment in the suburbs and urban areas in terms of this margin and excess. First, transportation. Both have public transport, and the distance to the nearest station and the nearest bus stop is actually not much different. However, when it comes to options, in urban areas, subways, JR, city buses, private buses, bicycles, taxis, etc., from the shortest route to the cheapest route, and even if you get off and get out early, 10 minutes later You can choose an infinite number of routes, but in the suburbs there is only one route for walking, buses and railroads, and the only route you can't get through. As a result, there is no difference in being able to get to the destination at the desired time using public transportation, but it may not be used as a possibility. The suburbs cannot afford this. In other words, if you choose the suburbs in a fun and positive way, you may need extra space on your part. Prepare ahead of time so you don't miss it. Always put a cover in the bag so that it is safe even if it rains. Always go to the bathroom before going out so that you don't need a convenience store. Make a memo on what you forgot to buy and then go shopping. And if you can have such values ​​that you think life won't end if you don't go as planned, there is nothing you can do in the city but not in the suburbs. If you are a lazy person who wants to live a life that only consumes the environment provided by people, or a person who can only be exploited, the city is of course the best place to die as a slave of the world. However, if you want to live a decent life and live, or if you want to decide your own life and want to walk with your own feet, you can choose the suburbs and enjoy the comfort and richness of the suburbs.

　Originally the suburbs are wonderful places that give people a rich life even if there are few people who can enjoy it, but the reality is certainly a bit different. One problem is that there are few people who can live in the suburbs, and many people who just choose the suburbs without consciousness and criticism live in the same sense as those who choose the urban area. The first is to mention the lack of improvement of the government and people who are making towns that are difficult to live in the suburbs that should be rich and easy to live in.

　If you ask why the people who live in the suburbs live there, the following pattern answers will be given. 1. Because this (Kougaidanchi) is their birthplace. 2. Because it is where their married partner grew up. 3. Because it ’s close to where they got a job. For the second generation of a suburban detached estate, if you are a local, or if your marriage partner is the second generation of a suburban detached estate wants to live in the neighborhood of a home or want to live with their parents, or find a job regardless of where you came from, for example, a factory in the coastal industrial area is said to have been located near the workplace because it is hard to think about future job changes. In addition, in the first generation, 4. There is no choice but to buy houses in urban areas. 5. The family business was farming, but the eldest son succeeded the house, so others wanted to own a house locally if they were the second son or later. Basically, there are many people who choose suburbs based on such passive elements, and there are only a few who have longed for living in the suburbs and who have come to seek out living in the suburbs. In this case, there are many patterns that settle down in the current residence with many compromises, as opposed to people who are longing for living in a smart and stylish city or gathering in hopes of living in a tower apartment as a status. In the first place, there are very few real estate properties to choose from because the number of affordable places is very small. Because there are many places in the suburbs that are considered as urbanization control areas in the city planning, so there are only a few places that are developed as residential areas around the area where they were born. Furthermore, There is almost no choice of the uniformly subdivided land lots. Since the square sections of 50-70 tsubo (165-231 sqm) are only lined up, the difference between them is only a few tens of meters close to or far from the corner or main street. All of sudden, it disappears form the list of candidate sites for purchase if you wanted the conditions that can be enjoyed a rich nature beautiful suburban life such as 100 tsubo (330 sqm) land, surrounded by nature and the neighboring land is separated, the hills have good views, the waterfront, wide and beautiful park is within walking distance. In other words, there is actually no land lot with such an ideal suburban lifestyle. In this way, the ideal conditions listed will be gradually reduced, and will be selected from the 1-2 properties left by the elimination method. In this case, of course, the market price of the property is fixed, so there is almost no difference in the unit price in the same residential area. Choose a land of 10 million yen at a relatively new residential area of ​​50 tsubo(165 sqm) or choose a land of 50 tsubo for 3 million that was made 30-40 years ago. Since many of the many younger generations will choose the former, this is essentially an option. And we will build a house with a unit price of about 500-600,000 per tsubo(3.3124m2) yen, but since we have already used 10 million yen out of a budget of 30 million yen, the average number of houses built with the remaining 20 million yen, it naturally settles down to a home of around 35 tsubo (116 sqm). And because the family structure of about 4 people, with the couple and their children, a living room of 12 tatami mats(counting units 1 tatami mat means 1.6562m2 double tatami mats means 1 tsubo), a dining room of 6 tatami mats, a kitchen of 4 tatami mats, a bath of 2 tatami mats, bathroom and undressing room of 2 tatami mats, a toilet of 1 tatami mat, an entrance hall of 2 tatami mats, stairs bedrooms of 3 tatami and 4 tatami mats, and 4 tatami mats of corridors. Since this is the minimum space, 30 tsubo (100sqm) is already unmovable. In other words, everyone has accepted this reality naturally, but for their nuclear family in their late 20s to 30s who are going to buy a 35 tsubo (11 sqm) house with a budget of 30 million yen in the suburbs, their home, despite this, there is only a choice of 5 tsubo (17 sqm). 5 tsubo is equivalent to 10 tatami mats. Widen the living room, enlarge the kitchen, enlarge the bath a little, or make another room. Because it is possible to choose dozens of types of patterns on the outer wall and inner wall from imitation of embossing patterns as if to cover up this fact, the Kougaidanchi has a mysterious brick-like outer wall with no unity or principle claim, it may be decorated by the mysterious fake reinforced concrete wallpaper. In this way, people who live in suburban detached housing are forced to make choices depending on the conditions without criticisms, otherwise, in the illusion of deciding by themselves, unconsciously buying their properties by the made up conditions.

　Whether these people don't speak up, or just because they are just trying to exploit them, the administrative side makes little effort to make the suburbs more comfortable. One problem is that, as a residential area, it is not an all-rounder and not an absolute thing. Things that seemed good at the beginning of production may not fit demands and wants over time, and mechanisms and functions that could not be fulfilled at the beginning of production may be required. However, instead of giving priority to answering these questions, we have invested a lot of money and time in giving permission for newly applied development with exceptions to the mechanism. For example, Kougaidanchi developed 30 years ago often has no sewer system. The construction of sewers with enough treatment capacity, rather than individual septic tanks, is not easy to proceed, because the government is not willing to invest in the estate. The plan is ambiguous. Of course, There is not even a concept of undergrounding utility poles for landscaping. Of course, public bus routes are also shrinking one after another, and the convenience will not only improve but also decline. Even if the road hurts, there will be no rework of asphalt, and the road markings are disappearing. Of course, there is no way to install a traffic light at the entrance of the housing complex, and there is no plan to create a sidewalk to ensure the safety of students going to and from school. Ultimately, there is an outrage that the existing detached housing complex is made into an urbanization adjustment area. Setting a place that has already been urbanized or developed as an area that suppresses urbanization means that people will not move to that place and will continue to exert pressure to disappear as much as possible. It is. Not only does it not improve administrative services, but it is either declining or trying to erase the target area in the first place. This is very effective, and because it is an urbanization adjustment zone, you can't get a mortgage, and the real estate market value is halved. In this way, the second generation of suburban detached estates can not inherit a lot of assets, so it is not possible to search for new and good properties based on it, so all the mortgages are uniformly budgeted. In this way, the budget of 30 million yen automatically becomes the limit, and suburban diversity is lost.

　In this way, existing real estate companies and construction shops will gradually release permission to develop urbanization adjustment areas while keeping existing Kougaidanchi losing vitality and declining. Then, a lot of newly developed new real estate will be supplied, but at the same time, the destination of the government budget will become thinner. Of course, this trend is not the improvement of administrative services and infrastructure, but the direction of decline, and it seems that there is no room for improvement in the situation of suburban detached housing estates in Japan, where extreme population decline and declining birthrate and aging are imminent.

　Also, the mobility in suburbs is a big problem, but this is hardly improved. Although of course, there are no signs of improvement in urban crowded trains, there is unexpectedly congested traffic even though it should be a comfortable suburb with a low population density. In particular, traffic is concentrated during morning and evening commuting hours, and traffic jams occur at many intersections. Normally, it takes about an hour to reach in 30 minutes by car. The big difference from a crowded train is that you can't get there. No matter how much the train is crowded and uncomfortable, it will reach your destination in the same amount of time as usual unless a panic occurs. There is no stagnation of life here, and there is no extra cost. However, car congestion causes extra 24 hours a day of valuable time and consumes more gasoline due to the extra idling. There will be many plans to be canceled because it doesn't go as planned. Car traffic jams are not only uncomfortable, but they actually waste a lot of resources. And the government is not willing to improve this. The actual use of roads is changing year by year as new commercial facilities are created, bus routes are reduced, and new residential areas are created. There may be roads that are crowded depending on the season even during the year, and there are roads where cars cannot pass at all. Imagine a car waiting for a red light to go out on a national highway in the city where traffic will be almost gone at around 9pm. If you are careful, the possibility of an accident is very low, so it would be good if the traffic light on the national highway is basically a green light and the crossing road is blinking a yellow light. That way, nobody is waiting for you, but you can eliminate the cars that are waiting for a green light to go away at the intersection in the rice field. On the other hand, why should the traffic light on the national road be red during morning and evening commuting rush hours? Commuting rush hour is about 1-2 hours. Isn't it possible to create a state where the main street is not necessary with red light even during that time? I don't think there's a problem because there are cars coming out onto the national highway from alleys or convenience stores parking lots with no traffic light. It may be crowded until going on the national highway, but it is still the same situation. Also, why can't you take the preferential treatment of multiple people or motorcycles or two-seater cars? On the California highway, there is a priority lane where only cars carrying multiple people can run. This is an environmentally-friendly measure, but if there are only two people in the car sharing each other and riding two people, the distance of the traffic will be halved, and if three people are riding, it will be 1/3 It is. If people in the same neighborhood who live in the neighborhood commute together and the distance of the traffic jam is reduced to 1/3, the traffic jam will no longer be a concern when considering population decline. Why can't the government realize that it can move without stress without traffic jams?

　This is a problem that can be found everywhere, and all of this reduces the attractiveness of suburban life. For example, air conditioning in public high schools. Many local governments are reluctant to install air-conditioning facilities during the summer. There is no doubt that children and adults are uncomfortable if they are too hot. Why do children deserve to endure it? For example, maintenance of public facilities. The outer wall is slightly dirty and dirty, and the interior is tattered. In the interior of the city hall, storage shelves are placed so as to block the passages to see if the documents can be gathered, and there are lots of posters out of date on the walls all over the city hall. The seats on the benches that were installed were torn, and the pipe chairs and pipe desks were shabby and lacking. Despite having a lot of facilities in that state, somehow they are trying to build new facilities and buildings, or parks and districts. They don't have the idea of ​​renewal, and they don't seem to have the idea of ​​maintenance or upgrading the comfortness. These hard-to-use facilities and roads remain difficult to use indefinitely, making them even less attractive than new areas built with the latest features and technologies.
