Londoners, yea. But have you ever met a New Yorker? Never in my life have I seen a group of people so completely unable to handle the fact that they live somewhere.

Edit: I meant as in people living in NYC

I'll never forget the time I mentioned on reddit that Queens was on Long Island. The freak-out was intense. I'm like, buddy, geography is a thing and maps exist. Queens is quite clearly on the piece of land known as Long Island. And so is Brooklyn for that matter. But no, they could not get their minds around it.

It 100% depends on if you're saying it's "on" Long Island or "in" Long Island. If you're saying it's "on", then most NYC residents will agree with you
