We have been through this! The boundaries of the Council of City of Sydney are irrelevant and related to the governance of functions such as libraries, minor roads and parks. We have the CBD and the metropolitan area.
These threads are extremely childish.

Omg I just realised he's right, San Jose does kick my city's butt! Thanks to his enlightment, I now realise the full prestige and wonder of supreme glorious respected San Jose, no city can kick glorious San Jose's powerful butt. Glorious San Jose is the greatest city in the whole wide world, forever and ever till the end of time.

Now that he's happy can we move on?

To save New York or Tokyo's butt from being kicked by glorious San Jose before he creates those threads?

Same with SJ, but SJ is much bigger

Council of SJ boundaries is much bigger and does relate to the governance of functions such as libraries, roads and parks, too. SJ also has the CBD(doesn't shut down at night/weekends) and metro.

Yep, and I'm not sure why people would want to spend time in the business precincts at night when more entainment oriented areas like DH are close by.

They do in Downtown SJ since they did way better job of integrating the two: business/entertainment. Think Dt. L.A: virtual scary ghost town in business district had Australian flight attendant lashing out at the airline for booking them at Downtown L.A hotel. They felt stranded since it was scary. Not a good thing to have in Sydney.

Not sure what LA has to do with this thread. But on the topic of Sydney and the integration of business and entertainment, google Barangaroo, which is really just getting fully open (other than the casino under construction) Extends Darling Harbour right along the waterfront and has multiple high rise office blocks. My son is now working in one of them and it is a great location.

I’m sure there is no need for him to google it. No doubt he took a look on his most recent visit.

Work in progress: it was underway when I was there. It'll shore up the north side of Sydney Harbor.

Lol, you’ve misunderstood the Wiki article and Google Maps.

That's worse than the one about Bondi's sudden relocation into the city of sydney.
