Reply to comment by lokivpoki23 in [OC] Top 15 cities with the highest population density by giteam

I’m telling you the actual reason that is, which you and most native New Yorkers don’t know.

Funnily enough, I’ve also lived here my entire life and just happen to know more weird trivia than you.

Are you referring to why the addresses are the easy they are (because of the 1898 consolidation)? I knew that already. What I’m referring to is that it is improper to address an envelope to someone in Brooklyn using New York, New York. No one I’ve ever known does that, we all follow what the post office says to do, which is Brooklyn, New York.
