Tokyo, unlike NYC, seems to have noise regulations for construction, apparently enforced by a decibel meter mounted to the construction site: https://i.imgur.co

That probably has something to do with the healthier relationship there between the population & new construction.
- plopz 8y agoIs Japan's relationship with new construction healthy? From what I understand houses in Japan are like cars in the west, they depreciate over time. When someone buys an old house they knock it down and build a new one. I can see some value in that, since the houses can be more customized to the owner as opposed to builder basic beige that we get here. But it also means houses aren't built to last which I find kind of sad.
