If you look at the concentration of blue in the Bay Area, you can see that they need to add a city to "What is 'the City'?": http://www.businessinsider.com/22-maps-that-show-the-deepest... Hint : It's not San José.
You know, I'm a little surprised that Socal doesn't have a similar concentration around LA.

Georgia has a similar thing going on. Looks like a pretty large radius around Atlanta thinks Atlanta is "the City".
Atlantan here. This was my first thought as well. Pretty much anyone in Georgia and a little bit into the surrounding states think that too. People on the coast of Georgia usually refer to Savannah though.
I almost spit out my drink at the map about "The city". I mean, really, what did they expect?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It wasn't a game of "which of these does not belong."
My point was that everyone around San Francisco calls it "the City" (even those in more populous San José), so they would have done well to add it to their set. In contrast, people around, say, Los Angeles don't typically call it "the City", so leaving out LA is not a relevant omission.
I can't speak for the rest of Australia though, since in Newcastle we use the phrase "ripping off" which means "making fun of" in addition to "charging too much".
In cities as close as Sydney, the phrase is "ripping into", whereas the Novacastrian[1] version makes no sense to them.

It probably has to do with the density gradient. With more spread out urban areas having less distinction between "the city" and outlying areas.
