California tops the list with 34 such cities, Texas has 33, and Florida 25, while Pennsylvania trails with only Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown. The differences come down to state laws on incorporation and annexation: Southern states like Texas and Florida encouraged growth through easy expansions and new cities to grab tax bases, while Pennsylvania's rules keep cities compact and prevent sprawl. People noted that these legal boundaries don't always match everyday urban life, where metro areas like Houston's 7 million residents spread across many independent municipalities.
