In Japanese animation, why do most rich people live in apartments and poor people live in independent villas?

A first-tier city like Tokyo, because of its different geographical location, has a large population and little land, especially in the urban area. Japan and China are very different in system. The biggest difference is that Japanese land is private, while China, on the contrary, is state-owned. For example, Mount Fuji in Japan enjoys a high reputation all over the world. But this mountain is not entirely Japanese, and the top of Mount Fuji is the private property of Asakusa Shrine. Therefore, the Japanese government consecrates this shrine every year as a condition for opening Mount Fuji. So their land ownership is private.

Secondly, most workplaces in Japan are concentrated in the city center, so the houses closer to the city center are more sought after. Japan's elite mainly live in the city center, and they need to be close to their work places, so the rich in Japan generally live in places that are very developed from traffic areas, and this is generally a prosperous area. After all, Japan has limited land. If more houses are built, especially villas, the house prices will be too high, so only apartments will be built in developed areas. As for ordinary commercial housing, because the price is too high and the audience is very small, most rich people live in high-grade apartments.

As for remote places, they are often relatively vast and sparsely populated, and the per capita available land area is very large, so it is possible to build villas. In fact, the situation is similar not only to Japanese, but also to China, such as our rural areas in China. Now there are many rural areas far away from the city, and two-story buildings will be built in the village, which is not much different from miniature villas. Although the poor in Japan can live in villas, correspondingly, it may take them two or three hours to commute, as a friend of mine did. After all, the rent of luxury apartments is not cheaper than that of single-family houses.

Whether living in a villa or an apartment, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on personal choice. There are still many people who are willing to endure a long traffic time to live in villas, which makes them feel more comfortable and comfortable. On the other hand, others find it much more convenient to live in an apartment.
