"The density of the 23 wards is ~twice that of Queens, which much of it being 3x." Technically correct but misleading; Queens is not especially dense. I dropped a pin at random in Queens: https://goo.gl/maps/ULFor21SjXq https://goo.gl/maps/ULFor21SjXq Here's a random pin-dropping in one of the 23 wards: https://goo.gl/maps/Ah5kaMKvyLn https://goo.gl/maps/Ah5kaMKvyLn Roughly equivalent, I'd say, and not atypical for Tokyo. But compare to what most anyone would call a "dense" part of Manhattan: https://goo.gl/maps/kKMgK4qZVcG2 https://goo.gl/maps/kKMgK4qZVcG2 HN people who talk about the "density" of Tokyo are picturing skyscrapers and block housing, but it's not an accurate picture. Having spent plenty of time in both cities, Tokyo is about as dense as the outer boroughs of New York, on average.
