To be fair, tract houses are usually built poorly and don't age well. The 1960s tract house I currently rent is hot garbage and it would be better/safer to tear it down and rebuild, than it would to fix it up.

~60 years is much older than most single family homes in Japan. On average they get torn down after ~30 years.
