Well, I think if we were to resolve this, we’d need a formal definition of neighborhood, and you make a useful distinction of a neighborhood vs a borough or a town. I suspect sociologists have some useful definitions, but that’s not my field.
it’s much harder to consider someone an expert or proud local of a “city” they don’t visit 90% of.
This is a lot more difficult to get behind. People are proud of their cities for a variety of reasons; visiting 90% of it seems like an irrelevant criterion. There’s some truth to the trope of the born-in-NYC native who’s never been to the Statue of Liberty.
