The Hong Kong street grid is bad but I would live in Tokyo over most European cities

Tokyo is 100% the best city except for all the racism.

Hong Kong’s transit is weirdly not actually that good by Asian standards?

Tokyo and Seoul are much better imo.
The network in HK has a bunch of annoying failures to connect lines -- only some of them results of geography (water), such that getting from point A to point B is often more complex than it seems like it ought to be.

Examples I remember: - Airport to Lok Ma Chau (5 seats, though Lai King and Prince Edward transfers are cross-platform) - Olympic to Diamond Hill (3 seats if via Lai King)
It's not just the number of transfers but also how out of the way some were, e.g., going from Olympic to Diamond Hill. (Yes, could have walked to Mong Kok instead, if I thought I could figure out how to get through the maze of highways. I guess that's the recommended way...)
