Tokyo’s population has constantly risen, even as japan’s has fallen. Tokyo has inexpensive housing because they’ve allowed people to build it. You can compare the chart of new housing growth in Tokyo versus Paris, London and NY, and Tokyo blows them out of the water.

Don’t count new housing growth in Tokyo if you aren’t counting housing destruction as well, otherwise the numbers aren’t comparable to other cities (where new housing usually means “new” housing, not just rebuilt housing).
