I see your point, of course, but generally agree with Raymond, based
on a survey of fine cities such as NYC, Columbus, Washington DC,
Atlanta, San Francisco, Chicago, Omaha, Dublin, London, Cork,
Limerick, Belfast, Sofia, Amsterdam, Malaga, and even the very in
ordnung Munich and Stockholm. Tokyo is absurdly clean for a city of
its size; actually, it is an absurdly clean city full stop. :)

So I think what I'm saying is that you're both right, and what a
brilliant contribution to the discussion this email has been... ;)

Cheers,
Josh
