It’s probably on Scihub
Not sure and I definitely don’t want to be the one to find out
…streets), so the situation has probably improved a bit since this data was collected, but there are still a ton of low-/low-mid-rise buildings surprisingly close to major train stations, especially on the western side of the CBD.
But the max by-right commercial FARs even near the main train stations are low, I think something like 7.5 vs. 15 in Manhattan. I think there are a lot of ways now to increase that post-asset bubble (land readjustment schemes – you get density bonuses for assembling large sites and erasing narrow…

This is from the 1990s, but it is illustrative of the problem – NYC has higher CBD employment densities (and MUCH higher population densities) than Tokyo, despite Tokyo’s metro area having almost twice the population www.nber.org/system/files...
Japan’s relatively low peak CBD densities cause this. Their cities are huge, so commutes to CBDs will naturally be long, but then the historical lack of ultra-high-density zoning causes even longer last-mile (or two) trips WITHIN CBDs, both by subway and on foot, making commutes unnecessarily long

The city is seeing a boom in commercial construction but labour scarcity has made location a critical concern for companies
Here we go, that one in the middle has a cover plate on it, with second pic being what these look like up close from my ceiling
Looks like they’re not required for 13D systems, so I guess there wouldn’t be anything visible from the outside on a townhouse (but you should be able to see them in listing photos online) media.iccsafe.org/news/eNews/2...
