phones ain't phones. soon cars won't be cars. and eventually, cities won't be cities. tweets about definitions are a waste of time except as a tool to get people to think hard-to-think thoughts.

The issue is that a city isn't an information protocol, it's a place where people have to actually live. Otherwise there are subreddits that are probably already "cities" at which point, the term just becomes useless.
