It’s a bit more complicated. There’s both a political division, which is NYC containing all five boroughs, and the postal code, division.

Unfortunately, for mailing stuff even the people who live in the city refuse to stop putting Brooklyn or New York, NY as the mailing address. This is because each borough at some point in time used to be a city or multiple cities, in the case of Queens and Bronx, or “The Bronx.” These last two boroughs have multiple cities up to this days, which can be seen when mailing address to places like Jamaica and Riverdale in which you would write the address as Riverdale, NY or Jamaica, NY.

Pretty confusing, right?

You can me be my friend!

I do the same exact thing, and guess what? I see that people next to me sometimes do it too, probably because they see me doing it.

We need more people like you because I think that people’s mentality is like “if you are blocking, I’m blocking too. Everyone does it.” By not doing it, we can make some people follow suit, because they will then feel pressured and ashamed, they will not want to be the assholes.
