Big Houses in Japan

Having lived in Japan (a small, mountainous island nation, densely populated, with scarce usable land) for almost 20 years, I have been following closely recent developments in the Japanese economy and politics.

I do have one question regarding the idea--forwarded by Japanese and Western experts--to construct larger homes in Japan in order to jump-start its economy (“Japan Faces Tough Choices to Turn Economy Around,” July 15): Where in Japan will these houses be built?
