> Yeah people wanna claim philly but don't live there or deal with philly problems, it just sounds cool to them.

do you think this is the likely motivation?

Or do you think it's just a lot easier to say "I'm from Philly" rather than explaining what Bryn Mawr is and how you commute from there into Philly for work, or giving them a word salad mouthful about the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area

Why can’t you just say “I’m from outside of Philly” or “I am from suburban Philly”. It’s just as easy and not word salad at all.
