For here the most boosters are in Chicago, SF and NY followed by DC and Philly. The most "defenders" (which is different than boosting) are in the sunbelt cities. Mainly Houston, LA, and Atlanta.
IRL it's the Texas and SE sunbelt cities in general. Their residents are constantly reinforced by their local media regarding how fast their cities are growing, how they always finish near the top of various quality of life and affordability lists, etc,etc. They always want to tell you how great life is in Austin, Charlotte, Raleigh, Houston, etc.

I generally view boosterism as cities that talk a lot but can't really back it up.... Portland, Austin, Charlotte... any city that is only recently on the "cool" radar really.
Boosterism is a city, and sometimes county, government that does all it can to land new business and residents for a city. "Homers" are people on CD who always defend their city in any argument.
