Compared to other megacities, Tokyo has a low cost of living, and has a huge and effective public transport system.

That's such a vague statement. The cost of living is way higher than Mexico City, Cairo, Mumbai or New Delhi. I know they don't have the same kind of public transport, but it just seems absurd to me to call the cost of living "low" when it is more than double of other candidates.

Hmm, I'm not sure comparing Tokyo to megacities of less developed countries is fair either since they will usually have a lower cost of living.
