What difference does it make where they live? It was a simple joke between them, just like when they call each other 'girl' or 'queen' which they do all the time out of affection...living in SF, you must have picked up on the lingo. They're not 'speaking on behalf on the city'...that, apparently, is your job, and one that you take incredibly seriously.

Here are a couple:

Memphis - The Bluff City (because the city was built high up on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, not because its politicans are necessarily bigger windbags than anywhere else)

Nashville - Music City
Chicago is also refered to as "Cow-town"......
