It is funny to see Cambridge labelled a 'Boston suburb'. That was clearly written by someone who has never visited Cambridge, MA or even the Boston area.

Never been there, could you explain?

I live in Cambridge, MA and would need it explained.

Its pretty urban (houses here don't have yards, Three-deckers are the norm) and usually considered part of the Boston metropolitan area, not a suburb of Boston.

It's a full blown city. It's basically Boston but with shorter buildings and slightly further left politics.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Cambridge is a city of 100k people, not a suburb. For comparison, Boston has 600k.

I wouldn't describe Cambridge as a suburb, but plenty of suburbs have populations larger than 100k.
