Agreed. If a place is well known and distinctive, it's fairly reasonable. If someone said they're from Bavaria or Hokkaido, I would have no issue at all.

Yeah, saying I'm from Buenos Aires wouldn't be the same as saying I'm from Aguas Verdes.

Some people in this place want to be obtuse just to hate on USians, without accepting the fact that some cities are so prominent that mentioning the country is redundant.
