I live in NYC. That sounds more like NYC. Most mega cities in Asia Pacific at least have newer infrastructure and social norms that make them less miserable.

I live in NYC. That sounds more like NYC. Most mega cities in Asia Pacific at least have newer infrastructure and social norms that make them less miserable. NYC is miserable in some ways (crumbling infrastructure, broken social norms especially post COVID) and not in others (creativity, passion). Some days I feel the latter makes up for the former. But the former is still bad.
