Which city would you rather live in if money (or a visa) were no object: NYC or Tokyo? (crime, living in)

Tokyo without a doubt. Been to NYC and there’s nothing there for me. Tokyo looks like a clean, orderly place with its own set of funky eateries, cultural opportunities, etc. Tokyo, has I an unlimited budget, looks cool as hell.
Been to Tokyo multiple times. While I like Tokyo’s attention to detail, cleanliness and infrastructure very much and I’m very fond of the Japanese culture and cuisine, I would much rather visit Tokyo as a tourist and have no desire to live there.
Obviously, if you look on the surface, there are so many things to like about Tokyo and to bash NYC for. But if you look deeper down and take NYC the way it is, it is not hard to understand that NYC is lauded as one of the two greatest cities in the world for a reason and it has a depth like no others.

Tokyo mochiron, unless you're an American or anyone from the anglosphere Japan is 100 times better choice...unless you're after covid, crime and a "young" president etc.
Tokyo. I'm a weeb and have been living in NYC for 11 years now. Hell, I'm entertaining the option of getting stuck there again. March - July was great vs what we came back to.
If money was no object and I was choosing right now? Tokyo. Having to deal with the oppressive corporate culture there would be a dealbreaker for me, but it wouldn't matter if I was rich and could just stay home.
Also, I don't think I would stay there forever. I'd probably want to move to NYC eventually.
