Not overthinking it, just been misled over the years
"Suburban living in the city"
LoL ppl fall for it
It's just a low-density urban area.
I agree that prettt much nowhere in NYC is actual suburbia, however I also think you're looking at the city thing too literally. A lot of sunbelt cities have neighborhoods that are functionally suburbia. Like less walkable than even Baldwin by a lot.

The only urban areas of Long Island are Glen Cove and Long Beach.

Meh
Urban planning 101
Less walkable doesn't mean anything
The reason why its less walkable is because less ppl live there
NYC is more walkable because we have more ppl, therefore we need more access to stuff
Quite simple
U said it yourself, sunbelt cities
They're cities
You cannot be a city with suburban aspects, either you're a city or you're not
Case in point: City of Long Beach, NY
It's a city. A pretty dense one at that.
Play some SimCity

Three related ways people use the term urban which leads to confusion:
- urban in regards to the build and function of an area, especially in regards to density and use patterns
- urban in regards to culture, often either relating to a cosmopolitan outlook (maybe from people confused with the word "urbane") or sometimes in regards to the culture identified with communities in dense, rough neighborhoods
- urban in regards to municipalities and their relation to each other with primary cities considered urban and municipalities separate and usually smaller or less a center of social and commercial activity from it to be regarded as suburban
Maybe we should strike some of these definitions out and use words without conflated meanings.
Just wanted to quote this masterpiece so you all can see how you're crossing streams.
