Dreaming of an apartment in Tokyo? Soaring prices, foreign investment and scarce supply are making that dream harder to reach. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/29/japan/society/rising-property-prices-tokyo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #property #tokyo #affordability #realestate #housing #buildings

Construction of wooden mid-rise and high-rise buildings is gradually increasing in the Tohoku region, pushed by legislation and the trend toward decarbonization. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/01/wooden-buildings-increasing-in-tohoku/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #wood #constructionindustry #tohoku #buildings
If anyone has good tools for figuring out when #buildings were built please lay them on me.
I’m very reactive to unknown something which especially is in 1970s buildings. Indoor diagnostics next week.
I’ve been trying to pull building #permits on gov websites but it’s very hit and miss.
Thank you!!

Photograph of the infamous Luna Park at golden hour showing its reflections and the sunset sky in the harbour / harbor. I captured this image towards the end of the festivities of the Australian Navy Centenary in October, 2013.
Golden hour can have so much power and make photographs look seemingly different to their normal daytime view. I await this time of day for the amazing light/glow and hue that the sun offers our planet Earth whilst setting.
[From Wikipedia]
Luna Park Sydney (originally Luna Park Milsons Point, also known as Sydney's Luna Park) is an amusement park located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Luna Park is located at Milsons Point, on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour.
Luna Park is one of two amusement parks in the world that are protected by government legislation; several of the buildings on the site are also listed on the Register of the National Estate and the NSW State Heritage Register. The park has been utilised as a filming location for several movies and television shows.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/885/654/315/781/504/original/6cbd891b0144ab20.jpeg)
