cimoreneTokyo Squeezes In Five More Residents
TOKYO--Tokyo somehow managed to squeeze in five more residents Monday, when
the Takashi family moved into a converted studio apartment. "This was a
one-bedroom apartment housing a family of six, but a wall was cleverly
constructed to create a small studio," city planning minister Hideki Kumagai
said. "This was good: We rarely can fit new citizenry into our city without
drilling into the bedrock." The Takashi family, brought in from Osaka's
overflow, will pay the equivalent of $12,600 monthly for 144 square feet of
living space.
