Huh? Not sure about Boston but there are lot of cities in the Midwest and West with single family neighborhoods.

Well, then we might have to redefine our discussion. :) Because if you start talking about "single family neighborhoods" then the boundary between city and suburb blurs a lot. When I talk city, I mean something that is walking distance from main-street-shops-restaurants-etc. Once you talk about single family neighborhoods like LA style La Brea/Highland/Olympic/etc., for me it's a suburb even if it's LA proper. :)

You might even call my place "city", since I can walk to our suburb "city center" in 5 minutes.

The urban village concept is pretty popular on the west coast. That means even in cities you have little village centers that you can walk to do shopping etc. Here in Seattle those villages are surrounded by higher density housing.......mid rises.....and then single family housing. Not every city has to be like Manhattan.
