Fun fact: In Japan you have to prove that you have parking space for it in order to buy a car, so these are all officially approved parking spaces for these vehicles!

    The process iirc is as follows:

    1. go to the local government office
    2. fill in and submit a form and stamp with your certified stamp
    3. in a few days a government clerk comes to measure your parking spot
    4. sometime later the office issues a certificate for your parking spot
    5. you take the certificate to the car dealer...

    They just open the door and exit on the right side of their vehicle where the wheel is positioned

    Seeing that architecture makes me sad the US has so many building rules that are incredibly stupid like zoning laws, standardized home layouts, and setback requirements. It'd be nice to have my home go all the way to the edge of the sidewalk like practically any other sane country.

    Makes me question if red fence owner lives in that little hut above the car.

    Is there some documentary about small/unusual living places and how they do things like cooking, washing, store clothes n stuff etc?

    Looking at these pictures is giving me anxiety. Imagining having to do this every day sounds so stressful, even with practice. I’d probably just give up and get a moped or something.

    Overall I'm not super happy to live where I do now, but one thing I'm grateful for is that there's ample parking everywhere I go.

    I don't know if this is more poking fun at Japanese parking or the fact that Americans can't comprehend not owning a car.
