I am going to guess Louisiana - since all their laws are whacked compared to the rest of the US.
Perhaps they're all towns?

Hawaii has no cities, towns, villages, boroughs, etc. The smallest unit of local government is the county. Honolulu, for instance, is a county, a geographic region, a census designated place, and a mailing address, but not a city (though the official title is the City and County of Honolulu) and the government covers all of the island of Oahu.
Conversely, Connecticut is the only state I know of that has no functioning county government, counties are for geographical purposes only. Alaska has boroughs in populated areas, which function much like counties elsewhere.

Not wanting to derail this topic -- because it's fun to read!
Do people think the high number of suburbs is a good or bad thing? Do people like having greater input (politically, etc.) in a small community of 10,000, or would things get done easier in a suburb of 100,000 or 200,000? It would seem the tax base isn't there to get things done in a smaller place -- things like entertainment venues, downtowns, etc. would seem to suffer.
In SoCal, there's far fewer suburbs -- most suburbs are designed to be in the 100,000 range at buildout, although there are exceptions that get quite a bit larger.
Toronto is the opposite extreme from Chicago, with a suburb of almost 700,000 people in Mississauga.
