In the Chinese city of Taiyuan, plans for a street expansion involved demolishing some of the surrounding buildings. This parked car, standing in the middle of the proposed demolition site, stopped all work for 10 days as the builders waited for the owner to show up. When no one arrived to claim the car, they started the work anyway but even now that the buildings are gone, the fate of the abandoned car is still undecided. Please tell me why they did not simply have the car towed away to begin with?

In central Tokyo, city living is so crowded that people are forced to live in rooms that are not much more than a big cabinet with a shelf.
Typically, the share houses or “geki-sema” accommodate working professionals who spend most of their time away from home. These cramped quarters cost as much as $500 to rent per month and residents share a bathroom with other occupants. Most of these small spaces are primarily used for sleeping as they have no windows and fit only a few personal possessions.
These accommodations are definitely not meant for the claustrophobic. There’s a communal toilet and bath for the residents, who sleep in tiny coffin-like rooms.
Tatami mats, traditionally used to measure room sizes, are about 1.6 square meters. Small rooms are either 4.5 or 6 tatami mats.
