Awww, that's the cute little Tokyo map that just has the Tokyo Metro and Toei lines and a rough sketch of a few other companies lines... :-)
Links to the English and Japanese versions of the full metro area (Kantō Plain and a little beyond) transit map:
Tokyo's rail network shows what a world class metro area's should look like:

Worth noting also that subway, major tourist sites, etc. have English, but hiking and most restaurants are going to be Chinese-only. Google Translate can be helpful, but only goes so far.

wiki.mozilla.org/Taipei has a few maybe-outdated restaurant recommendations.

I'm a huge fan of Taipei; never been to Singapore. Taipei land use is great (similar to Paris IMO, but very different looking). Great hiking around the edges of the city, and further away, accessible by public transit. I've been to one vegetarian restaurant that's likely OK...

I would look in the direction of organizations that are working to change land use (denser, less sprawly) and transportation (more transit, fewer cars).
(But what sort of organizations?)
Really, I'd want to know @drvox's answer to the question, though.

The conductor on southbound train 380 yesterday was pretty clear when leaving SF that the problem was a derailment in the depot at San José. (He also said he'd never experienced that problem before in 13 (?) years, but maybe he wasn't working the previous two days!)

Did anybody at the @csswg meeting drink the H20? (The label clearly says H20, not H2O.) What sort of compound is it? Is it dangerous?

Do they ever actually put you on the jury? (I've never been on one; closest I got was being the prosecutor's first peremptory challenge to kick off.)

We just accept that large numbers of people die from pollution from fossil fuels (and biomass), but panic about small numbers of deaths from nuclear power.

See the deaths-per-TWh table (white text on a gray background) about halfway down this article nextbigfuture.com/2016/06/up…

Maybe some combination of having rigid zoning laws that prohibit property from being used in better ways, and being in a place where even if most people can get around without cars, the decision makers are people who drive? Seems like there must be other factors, though...

trumanlibrary.org/speriod.ht… has a brief summary. Basic problem is that it's just an S on his birth certificate so it could be after either of his 2 grandfathers...
