Hype for the Future 133PHX: Central Phoenix

While the largest city that is not a county seat, Mesa, is also located within the county, the suburban locale is not technically included within the city limits of Phoenix and is to be treated separately. Features While the City of Phoenix sprawls largely from north to south and contains notable sites such as the […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/hype-for-the-future-133phx-central-phoenix/

Hype for the Future 133TUC: City of Tucson, Arizona
Introduction The City of Tucson is situated within the boundaries of Pima County, Arizona, largely descended from the Gadsden Purchase and historic railroad lines in the southeastern portion of the State. Today, the city is largely determined by the passing Interstate 10 and 19 corridors, as well as the local amenities of the central city. Central Tucson While the area of Downtown Tucson may not be of particular significance in terms of tourism, the surrounding areas are home to many of […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/03/13/hype-for-the-future-133tuc-city-of-tucson-arizona/

Hype for the Future 80E: Las Vegas, Nevada 🎰
Introduction There is perhaps no city more performative than the City of Las Vegas in the southern portion of the modern State of Nevada! Today, Las Vegas is most famous for a strip, the Las Vegas Strip, that is technically not included within the incorporated city but rather in the community known as Paradise. However, a few other distinctions also exist to separate the community from similarly associated communities nearer the coast, particularly Los Angeles or San Diego. Climate Though […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/19/hype-for-the-future-80e-las-vegas-nevada-%f0%9f%8e%b0/

Hype for the Future 79N: Melbourne 🇦🇺 and Sydney 🇦🇺 Compared
Introduction The two largest cities in Australia have largely created a historic rivalry from the earliest days of British colonization as a predominantly penal colony in the modern nation of Australia. When most of the region was part of New South Wales, the penal colony had largely determined the communities of Melbourne (in present-day Victoria) and Sydney (remaining with the State of New South Wales). As the two cities have effectively always been relatively close in population, the City […] -

Searching for "New York" followed by one or more capitalised words ... and massaging the resulting data a bit, results in the following list of New York institutions and/or aspects which receive mention at HN:
96 New York Times
51 New York City
25 New York
5 New York State
4 New York Public Library
3 New York City Subway
2 New York Harbor
2 New York Subway
2 New York Times Magazine
1 New York Attorney General
1 New York Charity
1 New York City Campus
1 New York Fed
1 New York Libraries
1 New York Magazine
1 New York Police
1 New York Post
1 New York Region
1 New York SenateNote that the 3rd entry, "New York" is itself ambiguous, and can refer to the city, state, or metro region, amongst others.
A handy reminder that language is itself ambiguous and provides a useful but not precise mechanism for transferring meaning or understanding (or sometimes ambiguity and confusion) between entities.

HN Front Page / Global Cities Mentions
One question I've had about HN is how well or poorly it represents non-US (or even non-Silicon Valley) viewpoints and issues.
Pulling from the Globalization and World Cities Research Network list, the top 50 global cities names appearing in HN front-page titles:
1 191 San Francisco
2 164 London
3 117 Boston
4 86 Seattle
5 60 Tokyo
6 58 Paris
7 56 Chicago
8 56 Hong Kong
9 55 New York City
10 50 Berlin
11 50 Phoenix
12 45 Rome
13 40 Detroit
14 36 Singapore
15 31 Vancouver
16 30 Los Angeles
17 27 Austin
18 23 Beijing
19 20 Dubai
20 19 Shenzhen
21 19 Toronto
22 17 Amsterdam
23 16 Copenhagen
24 16 Houston
25 16 Moscow
26 15 Atlanta
27 14 Barcelona
28 14 Denver
29 13 Baltimore
30 13 San Jose
31 13 Stockholm
32 12 San Diego
33 12 Sydney
34 11 Cairo
35 10 Munich
36 10 Wuhan
37 9 Helsinki
38 9 Miami
39 9 Mumbai
40 9 Philadelphia
41 9 Shanghai
42 9 Vienna
43 8 Montreal
44 7 Beirut
45 7 Dublin
46 7 Istanbul
47 6 Bangalore
48 6 Dallas
49 6 Kansas City
50 6 Minneapolis(Best viewed in original on toot.cat.)
Note that some idiosyncrasies affect this, e.g., "New York City" appears rarely, whilst "New York" may refer to the city, state, any of several newspapers, universities, etc. "New York" appears 315 times in titles (mostly as "New York Times").
I've independently verified that, for example, "Ho Chi Minh City" doesn't appear, though "Ho Chi Minh" alone does:

So apply salt liberally.
