When I lived there you would be able to get a gyudon for roughly 300-400 yens
It will get you full but it’s not very nutritive
You can eat many eastern / western fast food dishes for around that price, but if you want to go to an actual sit down restaurant it’s much more expensive
I didn’t cook in Tokyo because I was on a scholarship so I didn’t care, but friends told me it would be cheaper to cook too
I can get the same dish in Canada for 8 AUD and can cook for less than half the money, and Canada is not a cheap country
You are not describing differences between urban & suburban
Maybe you are for America specifically but most of what you described is normal in urban areas of Japan or Germany for instance
No transit doesn’t need to be in the same route, there are bus terminals and metro line connections
Low density means you are unlikely to live a walkable distance from a friend, so suburbia sucks for that too
Honestly the only thing you said that is true is the big yard, everything else is worse in suburbia than cities
Maybe not American cities, but most suck anyway
I don’t know if the cottage thing is true or not, but even if it is, it doesn’t make difference for the customer if their goal is to save money
I have never seen a rental saying where you can or can’t go with a vehicle
I don’t know about other South American countries.
I wouldn’t call Portugal an European power, they never had a significant population. Same for Switzerland.
Spain was completely destroyed just before world war 2 during a civil war
Most of Asia and Africa had been put under European control before world war 2, which actually was one of the reasons there was war: Germans had almost no colonies and wanted to expand
Turkey had lost world war 1 a few years back (Ottoman Empire)
