This confuses me. Af first, you are impressed by the fast rate of construction in Japan and affordable prices in Tokyo. From there, it seems reasonable to speculate that if Poland increased residential construction to be more in line with that of Japan (proportional to population), Poland might also see a reduction in prices. But you instead immediately jump to the conclusion that it wouldn't work because Poland is in Europe. Japan's system works well enough with a population of 125 million. Any particular reason it couldn't scale to support the 500 million in Europe? If foreigners are eager to buy up Polish housing, this is only a problem if Polish housing is scarce. If instead, Poland increases construction until it has a surplus of housing, housing becomes just another export that can be sold at a profit, injecting money into the Polish economy. So why wouldn't it be in Poland's interest to follow the Japanese model?
