Vancouver, which has been my home town all my life if you include the suburbs...I've visited much larger cities. I think Bombay was the biggest. Maybe Los Angeles, Jakarta or Delhi...

As opposed to "populated by alien beings or non-human earth creatures"?
Chicago, born there.

Portland, Oregon or Council Bluffs, Iowa. I was born in Council Bluffs and lived in Portland as a baby and again in the early 1970's. I don't know which one has the larger population

I don't know. I've lived in a couple of different places but I don't know which one has the larger population and I'm not inclined to research this.

for natives, NYC is Manhattan; all the boros are "The City of New York," or "the five boros."

The reason is the Post Office. Manhattan is the only boro with "New York, New York" as the town and state part of the address. Where I come from in Queens for example, it is "Flushing, New York" as the city and state part of the address.
When we go out, we go to "the City," aka Manhattan.

"Sex and [the City]" was the only TV show or movie to ever get it right when they referred to Manhattan as "The City" and the other boros by their name. For example, when the redheaded lawyer moved to Brooklyn, everyone referred to where she lived by name "Brooklyn." That was right on.

However, the rest of the world refers to the City of New York, all five boros, as "New York City." We do, too, when we talk to out-of-towners so as not to confuse, but since you said you lived there, I asked for the distiction.

I'm not sure. It's probably San Francisco. I've lived in more populated areas, but never technically in the city which was the real reason for the density. But I actually live in the city of San Francisco, so I think that probably wins.

Vicksburg, Mississippi. I'm not much for big cities. While they are nice to visit, I would never live in a big city.

Cincinnati, Ohio.

I'm here now.

The population of the actual city isn't real high.. but we live in what is called the "tri-state".. the tips of KY, IN, and OH.. and the population is much larger.

Yes, minus the "shire" suffix.

There's actually a village nearby that is named "Wooster".

The thing like this that really kills me is Versailles, Kentucky. My sister-in-law's family is from there. Anyway, they pronounce it "ver-sales"  * dead face * .

I live in a town just outside of a borough just outside of England's second city. It takes me twenty minutes to get into Manchester, and I go four or five times a week, so I'm counting that.
