Marginal Subdivisions in Chiba Prefecture: The Problem of Speculative Use and Vacant Lots

In the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture, there are many subdivisions that were sold for residential use in the 1970s and 1980s. Although such lots are sold out at the time of their release, it is rare that houses are actually built on them. Yusuke Yoshikawa, a blogger who continues to report on “marginal condominiums,” says, “It was sold for speculative purposes to office workers dreaming of building assets, and no one actually lived there.It remained vacant for decades. “This has become a problem locally.”

Most were sold for “speculative use”

When I look for materials on the marginal subdivisions that were developed in the northeastern part of Chiba Prefecture after the period of high economic growth, I most often use the reduced editions of newspapers held in libraries. Although there are slight differences depending on the day of the week and the time of year, many real estate advertisements have appeared in newspapers since around 1970.

Many of these are condominiums around the city center, or large-scale condominiums in relatively good locations within walking distance of stations, which even today function as commuter towns for commuters in the city center, developed by major developers and private railway real estate companies. It is something.

Among these advertisements, there are advertisements for subdivisions that are nominally residential or villa areas, but based on their appeal, they are not actually sold for residential use, but for speculation. Unless you look into the location and check the current situation, at first glance many of the advertisements appear to be no different from any other advertisement for a residential subdivision.
