Tree lined streets

So Tokyo's metro region has 33 million, just shy of NY's 18 million
inhabitants. I was expecting things to be a lot more crowded than they
are, and the buildings to be higher. I mean, it's no Denver, but
Manhattan is way more intense than this place!

I think the trees add a lot. I've gone out a couple of times at night
and walked for five minutes without seeing anyone (9pm), which is
unheard of anywhere in manhattan. I try not to venture anywhere else
in NYC at night, so I can't comment, but I don't think you can compare
the places I've been visiting to Brooklyn. Just interesting.
