Furigana and English scripts are on my website: https://www.nihongoforyou.com/episodes/168a-boom-in-japans-vacant-house-market-akiya[Japanese script]みなさんはどんな家に住んでいますか?家族と一軒家に住んでいたり、友達とルームシェアをしていたり、一人でワンルームに住んでいたり…さて、日本では最近、人口減少に伴って、たくさんの家が空き家になってきています。今日は、そんな日本の空き家をとりまく状況と、その解決の一手になるかもしれない潮流について話します。まずは、日本の住宅の状況についてです。人口がどんどん減っている日本では、全国で空き家問題が深刻になっています。空き家は一般的に、地方の過疎地にあったり大幅に改修しなければならなかったりして、市場価値は決して高くありません。日本人は古い家に住みたがらないので、買い手がつかないことが多いんです。また、高齢化によって、持ち主がいなくなって処分に困っている家も増えています。2033年頃には空き家数2,150万戸、なんと全住宅の3戸に1戸が空き家になってしまうという民間予測もあるほどです。でも、この問題の救世主になってくれそうなのが、外国人です。ここ数年、外国人コミュニティの間で日本の空き家への関心が高まっていて、たくさんの人が空き家を購入しているようです。理由はいくつかあります。例えば、円安も追い風になって、彼らの国と比べて割安で購入できること。それから、 日本人と外国人の空き家に対する考え方の違いも影響しています。日本人はどちらかというと空き家を「負債」だと思うのに対して、外国人は古い家がいやだという感覚がない人が多いようです。また、彼らにとっては広大な土地と美しい日本の田舎風景、地域の繋がりなどが魅力的に映るようです。買った家をどうするかというと、DIYをして自分で住んだり、airBnBなどで民泊として貸し出すケースもあるそうです。よい条件の空き家を見つけるにはコツが必要そうですが、日本に住みたいと思っているひとにとっては魅力的なトレンドですね。=======================================

This episode features yogini Akia Merritt who shares her life journey growing up in Miami and discovering her capital S Self through yoga sadhana. Akiya recounts the journey from aspiring fashion designer in New York City to becoming a capital-Y Yoga teacher, and the pitfalls of the industry along the way. Relatable to everyone whose journey has taken them far from where they started, and then back home with compassion.    Mark and Akia discuss:    - Akia's childhood in poverty, family struggles with addiction, and dangerous neighborhood in Miami - Her drive to get out of that environment and pursuit of fashion career in NYC - A psychic telling her she would be a teacher… which she dismissed! - Discovering through yoga practice 'you are what you're looking for' - Anger, then compassion arising, seeing her family clearly - Embodying freedom allowing her to be a mirror and bridge   - Sharing with friends and family and helping create shifts in their lives - Her continued shedding and settling into being a teacher   Favorite phrases:   - "Language is limiting, and you, you transmit to your family and friends, just by you being you." - "You are, you are what you're looking for. You are what you're searching for."  - "I'll give my life over to be able to hold someone's hand to that gate, to that door."
